'Runners: On top of the hill

by Matthew Gunn
The Metropolitan

It's been said that the third time is a charm. On Saturday, Nov. 6, the No. 2 Metro women's soccer team (20-1-0) faced-off against No. 11 Regis University (18-4) for the second time in as many weeks.

This time, the game was for the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament title and a chance to secure home field for the upcoming NCAA regional tournament. more >>

Volleyball (16-13)

Unlike seasons past when Metro would host the tournament, this year they are going on the road. The road hasn't been particularly good to the volleyball team ... it's not really the road (because they're 7-5 on the road), but where they're traveling- that's been the problem. The 'Runners are going to a place where they aren't wanted: Nebraska. The Neb-Kearney Lopers must be hoping-no, wait-begging that the 'Runners beat New Mexico Highlands so they have the pleasure-no, wait-the honor of finally being able to beat the 'Runners in the playoffs. If revenge is to be avoided and Metro's volleyball team can hand the Lopers their first loss of the season, they will still have to possibly beat the Fort Hays State Tigers. Although I would like to see that happen, I don't think it will. But, hey, at least the younger players will get some playoff experience. more >>
