Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Colorado School of Mines’ Tristan Semelsberger and Lucas King join University of Colorado Colorado Springs’ Declan Domyan as the week five Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Men’s Soccer Players of the Week, the league announced Tuesday.
 
Semelsberger collects his first RMAC Offensive Player of the Week honor of the season after boosting the Orediggers (5-3-2, 2-0 RMAC) to a pair of victories last weekend. He recorded five points on the weekend, including two goals and one assist. Semelsberger’s first goal came in an 8-0 victory over Adams State on Friday, where he found the net in the ninth minute. The senior then came up clutch against Fort Lewis on Sunday scoring the game-winning goal at the 79th minute mark and added an assist in the 3-1 win.
 
King claims his first RMAC Defensive Player of the Week distinction of the season after leading the Orediggers’ defense while allowing one goal and nine shots all weekend. King recorded his first goal of the season and added an assist in Mines’ dominant win over Adams State on Friday. He also dealt the assist that leveled the game at 1-1 in Sunday’s showdown with Fort Lewis, giving the Orediggers life in their eventual win.
 
Domyan earns his first RMAC Goalkeeper of the Week nod of the year after registering three saves on the weekend to help the Mountain Lions (6-1-3, 1-0-1 RMAC) start conference play strong. All three of Domyan’s saves came in Friday’s 3-0 victory against Westminster, where he recorded his sixth clean sheet of the season. The junior goalkeeper then stepped up on Sunday to hold Colorado Mesa to only one goal over 90 minutes of play to earn a point in the 1-1 draw.
