Fort Lewis scored twice in a two-minute stretch to beat Western Colorado 2-0, ending the Mountaineers’ season and their hopes of reaching the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament. Western mounted a sustained attack early in the second half but couldn’t convert, then conceded in the 77th and 79th minutes.

By the Numbers
  • Final score: Fort Lewis 2, Western Colorado 0.
  • Western finished 6-9-1 overall and 4-7-1 in the RMAC; Fort Lewis finished 10-4-3 and 7-4-1.
  • Western’s Jordan Welsh ends her career with program records of 13 career goals and eight goals in a season.

Yes, But

Western generated seven shots during a 20-minute second-half surge, including a Lauren Kindt attempt off the crossbar, but couldn’t find the net. Fort Lewis had controlled much of the first half, leading 12-5 in shots at halftime.

State of Play
  • Western finished ninth in the RMAC, outside the conference tournament’s eight-team field.
  • A win or draw was necessary to keep Western’s postseason hopes alive, and the team also needed favorable results elsewhere.
Bottom Line

Western’s late-season push ended short of the playoffs, while Welsh leaves the program as its most prolific scorer by both career and single-season goals.
