The Skyhawks needed a strong showing Friday at last-place CSU-Pueblo and Sunday at home against first-place Regis.

They got it.

FLC shut out CSU-Pueblo 4-0, then Regis 1-0 at Dirks Field.

Ryan Schaul, the Skyhawks’ sophomore goalkeeper from Frisco, Texas, made a pair of saves Friday for the clean sheet, then made a more challenging six to blank the Rangers, his third and fourth shutouts this season.

On Tuesday, Schaul was named the RMAC Defensive Player of the Week.

The back-to-back victories squared FLC up at 5-5 in the RMAC.

Schaul and FLC (8-5-1) will try and make it four wins in a row with another RMAC doubleheader this weekend at home – Colorado Mesa at 3:30 p.m. Friday and Metro State at 3:30 p.m. Sunday.

Spencer Jackson, a freshman midfielder for the Colorado Mesa Mavericks, was named the RMAC Offensive Player of the Week.
