What A year it has been for the Regis Men’s Basketball team! A month ago, the team won their first playoff game against Black Hills State University 78-66. Dexter Sienko dominated the game and finished with an impressive 27 points. Christian Little also had a great game adding 18 points for the Rangers. This was the first of three possible RMAC tournament games. The team will wait to see who they play next in the semifinal. Following the RMAC tournament, the team will compete in the NCAA Division II tournament.

The latest Regional rankings have been released and the team was ranked 5th. Hopefully, this will help the Rangers in the seeding process. The team will also look to Sienko and his dominate defensive skills. This past week he earned the prestigious RMAC defensive player of the year award alongside a spot on the All-RMAC first team. Also earning awards were Jarrett Brodbeck, Christian Little, and Ty Mcgee. Brodbeck and Little were awarded All-RMAC second team and Mcgee was an honorable mention. The date and time of the next game are yet TBD, but in the meantime send good vibes the team's way as they look to continue their winning streak!

This past weekend the Regis University Men's Basketball team kicked off their season with a trip to Wyoming. The team fell short losing 75-65, but some may consider it a win. The University of Wyoming, a division 1 program, came out swinging but the Rangers were able to keep up for most of the game.

Senior Dexter Sienko led the Rangers with 15 points and 7 rebounds followed by Senior Ty Mcgee with 13 points and 4 rebounds.

With the team only having 3 incoming Freshman, watch out for the Rangers veterans to shine this season.

Coming up this weekend, Regis Athletics will be hosting the RMAC/Heartland challenge in the field house. The Rangers will be playing against St. Mary’s University (TX) on Saturday at 1:30 followed by a 1:30 tipoff on Sunday against Lubbock Christian University. With both competitors being very similar in talent to the Rangers, these games won't be ones to miss. Colorado School of mines will also be competing in the tournament, but the Rangers will not be playing them.

This weekend will be the first test for the Rangers to see if they can capitalize on the 7 straight home games that they will begin the season with. The Rangers won't have to travel again until December 9th so hopefully, the extra rest and home game atmosphere will bring the Rangers success.

Come on out and support your fellow Rangers at their home opener this Saturday!
