- The Rangers began the season with a trio of home wins that was highlighted by a 2-1 win over then-fourth-ranked Colorado School of Mines back on Sept. 8.  Regis is 2-2 against top-25 teams so far following last weekend's loss at 25th-ranked Colo. School of Mines.

Westminster won, 1-0, the last time the two played back in 2019 with Regis choosing to forgoe all competition in 2020-21 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

About the Hardrockers:
- With just one win and one draw on the season, S.D. Mines sits in the basement of the current RMAC men's soccer standings.  The Hardrockers had a 2-1 season-opening win against St. Cloud State and a 2-2 draw against SCSU the following day, but have since suffered 11 straight losses including an 0-6 start to conference play.
- Of those 11 losses, S.D. Mines have dropped six by just a single goal including a 1-0 loss in its last match this past Sunday at Colorado Christian.
- The Hardrockers have allowed a whopping 3.00 goals per game, and have allowed more shots on goal (129) by opponents than total shot attempts (128) from their own attack.
- Westminster is 6-1 all-time against S.D. Mines and has outscored the Hardrockers, 15-4, in the series that dates back to 2015.
- S.D. Mines won the first-ever matchup, 1-0, in Salt Lake City back in 2015, but Westminster has taken the previous six and has shutout the Hardrockers in the last three.
- Westminster won its last match vs. S.D. Mines, 2-0, on the road in Rapid City, S.D.
- George Martinez has six goals, half of the Hardrockers' 12 goals scored as a team this season, but has not scored since Oct. 3 against MSU Denver.  He scored one goal in each of the team's first four matches but has just two goals over the Hardrockers' 11-match losing skid.
