ALAMOSA, Colo. — Kaidin Reese found the net before halftime and continued to test Regis after the break, but Adams State could not overcome the Rangers' early scoring surge in a 6–1 loss Friday at the ASU Soccer & Lacrosse Field.

Regis took the lead at 6:25 when Jacobo Betancourt-Tovar opened the scoring. Jan Grillitsch added a goal in the 18th minute before Reese forced a save from Rangers goalkeeper Zach Jennings at 20:32.
The Rangers then created separation with two goals in 50 seconds. Betancourt-Tovar scored at 20:57 and again at 21:47 to complete a first-half hat trick and give Regis a 4–0 advantage.
Adams State answered before the break. After Amezcua turned away attempts from Ben Points and Jack Shimkus, Reese broke through with an unassisted goal at 41:12. His finish cut the deficit to 4–1 and marked his second consecutive match with a goal.
Regis extended its lead after halftime when Betancourt-Tovar scored his fourth goal at 49:31. Reese responded with another shot on target 21 seconds later, but Jennings made the save.
Blaise Richard added the Rangers' final goal at 54:30 off an assist from Grillitsch. The Grizzlies continued to seek chances, with Reese forcing his third save of the afternoon at 60:27.
Amezcua added second-half stops against Grillitsch, Richard and Johan Murillo. Adams State kept Regis off the scoreboard for the remainder of the contest following Richard's goal.
