The winner of the RMAC Tournament earns an automatic qualifying spot in the NCAA Tournament. The Mavericks took on the #2 seed Colorado Mines Orediggers for the Tournament Title.

Mines scored a goal in the 20th minute of the match and got an insurance goal in the 87th minute of the match. CMU had a chance for a goal in the 75th minute, Sara Islas' header was ready to find its way into the back of the net but Mines' goalkeeper came in and made the late save.
        Colorado Mesa, who played their 3rd match in 5 days, had four players make the All-Tournament Team. Defenders Sam Burneo and Jessica Kent, Kelly Parkhurst, and goalkeeper Sarah Schnetzler all made the team. Colorado Mines goalkeeper Penny Rogers was named the tournament's most outstanding player.
