Box Score Grand Junction, CO – The highly anticipated Rocky Mountain Athletic tournament kicked off at Colorado Mesa University, featuring an intense showdown between the Westminster Griffins and Concordia University Irvine in the 2024 tournament.
 
Concordia University Irvine wasted no time starting things off quickly on the offensive end, catching the Griffins off guard with a quick start that held them to just one goal in the first half—an unusual occurrence for the typically high-scoring Westminster team.

Leading scorer Merritt McMahon continued his stellar performance, adding to his season tally in the face of a tough opponent.
