Main Story

Colorado School of Mines hosts CSU Pueblo on Wednesday to close the regular season, with postseason play already secured and seeding still at stake. Mines can finish as high as third in the RMAC; CSU Pueblo needs a win to keep its tournament hopes alive. The Orediggers enter on a dominant run, having scored 15 goals across two wins last weekend, led by Bella Campos.

By the Numbers
  • Mines: 11-3-3 overall, 7-2-2 in RMAC play; CSU Pueblo: 5-9-3 overall, 3-6-2 in the conference.
  • Kickoff is Wednesday at 5 p.m. at Stermole Stadium in Golden, Colorado.
  • Mines outscored New Mexico Highlands and Adams State 15-2 last weekend.
  • Campos leads Mines with 25 goals and 57 points this season; she has 75 career goals and 172 career points.
  • Mines leads the all-time series 19-8-6 and is 12-2-3 against CSU Pueblo at home.
Yes, But

Mines is the stronger side on paper, but CSU Pueblo has won its last two matches and is still fighting for a tournament spot. The ThunderWolves have struggled on the road, going 1-5-3 away from home this season, and will need a win to remain in contention.

State of Play
  • Regis has clinched the regular-season title, while UCCS is locked into the No. 2 seed.
  • Mines and Colorado Mesa are tied for third; if both win Wednesday, Colorado Mesa takes the No. 3 seed on the head-to-head tiebreaker.
  • Wednesday’s results will determine Mines’ seed, opponent and location for the RMAC tournament.
What's Next

The regular-season finale will set Mines’ place in the RMAC tournament, where the Orediggers could finish anywhere from third to fifth. CSU Pueblo’s postseason fate also depends on Wednesday’s result and the conference standings.

Bottom Line

Mines has momentum and a postseason berth, but Wednesday is more than a tune-up: a win could improve its seeding, while CSU Pueblo arrives with its season on the line.
