Match Notes vs. Fort Lewis and Adams State

LAST WEEKEND
Colorado Mesa went 1-0-1 over the weekend, falling to Colorado Mines 2-0 on Friday afternoon before taking down Colorado Christian on Sunday 2-1. A pair of early goals doomed the Mavericks in their showdown with the Orediggers. Against Colorado Christian the Mavs fell behind 1-0 but came back and evened the match less then a minute later and scored the game-winning goal in the 81st minute on a goal from Amanda Wenzel to give the Mavs their first goals of the season and first win of the season.

TWO GOALS
