UCCS still maintains the top overall winning percentage in the conference at .909. The Mountain Lions are tied for third in the conference with CSU-Pueblo in goals with 21 and continue to lead in penalty kicks as they are now seven for nine on the season. UCCS has not only stood out on the offensive side, but defensively as well as they have allowed just seven goals and saved 81.6% of shots, both being RMAC bests.
 
Senior midfielder Dani Barajas continues to shine as he scored the go-ahead goal in the Mountain Lions' lone game of the week leaving him with six on the season and tied for the RMAC lead. Junior Forward Miles Seminario also found the back of the net this week for his fourth goal of the season as he now ranks third in the conference in shots on goal.
