Home Found Community center continues construction after winning battle with neighborhood association
Controversial generalizations overshadow journalist’s lecture
Homeless supporters marched through downtown Denver to dispute a court’s decision that would have stopped construction of a new community center.
Denver District Court Judge R. Michael Mullins stopped the opening of the Lawrence Street Community Center back in September.
The Cross Purpose Center for Urban Change worked with other groups to organize a march from Coors Field to the site of the new shelter on Oct. 26. The demonstration was formed to voice opposition to the judge’s decision.
“A great city should find a place for all of its residents to live,” said Jason Janz, founder and Executive Director of the Cross Purpose Center for Urban Development.
“I’m a 30-year Denver resident, and I want to see the conscience of our city reawakened to consider the well being of the poor.”
The march also offered insight into the struggles of being homeless.
“Once we were [at the center], we heard from a few people who were experiencing homelessness and they kind of explained their story,” said Joel Friesen, a member of Cross Purpose. “The purpose of that was to kind of break the stereotypes of what we think the
homeless are and give us a face to homelessness. We gave them the microphone and they got to use their voice, which is often unheard.”
The Ballpark Neighborhood Association has been a vocal opponent of the center. Over the course of the facility’s development, the BNA has voiced concerns about the message the facility would send, arguing in a statement made Oct. 21 that the facility “merely provides a wall in which the problem can be hidden from the public during the day.”
The statement went on to say that the association was in favor of long term programs applied to the whole of Denver that would help the homeless with issues like job training, drug treatment and mental health care.
“We believe that concentrating social services in one neighborhood is not beneficial to surrounding residents, businesses, and most importantly the homeless themselves,” the BNA said.
The day after the march, the verdict to reverse the call was announced. It was also announced that the decision came in part due to a change of heart by the BNA, though the association was not reachable for direct comment following the reversal.
The Lawrence Street Community Center is expected to formally open the first week of
Comments made by veteran reporter Greg Dobbs generated controversy while speaking on the changing nature of terrorism.
Dobbs took questions toward the end of his Oct. 21 lecture at St. Cajetan’s.
A member of the audience asked, “With the overall failure of democracy in the region, how do you explain the success of democracy in Tunisia?”
Dobbs said that he didn’t know the answer, but he remembered Tunisia as a place with some of the sweetest people in the world.
That’s when Dobbs made some unexpected remarks.
Dobbs said, “On the other hand,” after a moment of hesitation, Dobbs pointed at MSU Denver student Melanie Townsend and said, “Are you Nigerian?”
Townsend looked around in confusion.
“Me?” Dobbs said, “Yes. I only ask because you’re, you’re black.”
Townsend replied no. Dobbs then asked another
audience member, “You sir? Are you Nigerian?” When the audience member indicated that he wasn’t, Dobbs said, “Nigerians are the rudest people. They would just as soon steal your wallet as speak to you.”
Townsend recalled, “It was a total generalization. It was very ignorant honestly. Just because I’m dark-skinned doesn’t necessarily mean I’m from Africa.”
Kip Wotkyns, journalism professor at MSU Denver said, “I thought the comment about Nigeria was just inappropriate. Not okay.”
In an interview days after the lecture, Dobbs said, “My goal is not to insult anybody. If somebody had said, ‘yeah that’s where I’m from,’ I would not have characterized it that way, because it wasn’t the most important thing of the hour that I spoke. That’s why I asked.”
Despite what Dobbs deemed relevant, many were distracted by the generalizations made by
Dobbs. “I kind of tuned out after
he said that,” Townsend said. “I didn’t feel moved by his speech as much as I wanted to be.”
The lecture was co-sponsored by the MSU Denver Department of Journalism and Technical Communications , the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology and The Counterterrorism Education Learning Lab.
Wotkyns said that the goal of the lecture was to give students some perspective on the changing nature of terrorism.
“If you look at the last two decades, the biggest news story has been the rise of radical Islamic terrorism and its impact on the world,” Wotkyns said.
“What’s the chance that a journalism student at Metro State is going to be covering terrorism in the foreseeable future: 100 percent.”
Dobbs spent 23 years with ABC News and for 10 of those years, he was an international correspondent based in London and Paris. He’s covered a variety of stories including the Iranian revolution and occupation of the U.S. Embassy, the civil war in Lebanon and the assassination of Anwar Sadat in Egypt.
“The deeper we go into this century, the more important it’s going to be to understand that there’s a big bad world out there beyond our borders and the less we understand, the more we’re going to suffer for it and sometimes maybe mess it up,” Dobbs said.
In the end, for those at Dobb’s lecture, his comments trumped his experience.
In rating his guest, Wotkyns said, “My overall take on the situation is that although he was informative, it was less spectacular than I had hoped.”

What we do
Lady Runners: Is it sexist?
Many collegiate schools take pride in their female athletic programs and the names associated with them. The women’s basketball team at the University of Tennessee is widely known as the “Lady Vols” rather than their male counterpart Volunteers and have publicly said how much the name means to their identity.
“I don’t think that will ever change at Tennessee,” former UT women’s basketball coach, Pat Summitt said in a USA Today interview. “That started back in ‘74. That’s who we’re known as, as the Lady Vols. I think our players would be the first to say we don’t want to change it. That’s who we are, that’s how people know us, and most of these players up here.”
Summitt went on to express how she believes it is a part of their women’s basketball brand, independent of the men’s team, who historically haven’t been as competitive as the women’s.
Typically men’s teams were in place before women’s when establishing college athletics in the early 1900s, so using “Lady” as an adjective to differentiate between the two programs was a norm. Since then, other women’s athletic programs have developed a rich history and tradition in team names, like UT, such as the Lady Buffs, Lady Rebels and even Metro State’s Lady Runners.
Whether it’s Roadrunners, Runners or Lady Runners, it all personifies the essence of who the student athletes are when describing women’s sports. As far as journalism, as sports editor for The Metropolitan, I have used
the terms interchangeably when writing a game story as a way to avoid redundancy. The same has been done when describing male sports, i.e. Roadrunners and Runners.
Labeling Metro women athletes as Lady Runners in some cases does not suggest women sports are secondary to men, neither does it imply that women don’t work just as hard as men. The label is a way to distinguish sport, particularly at the collegiate level because both genders can play the same game. In fact, some female athletic programs have brought along a well established history of their
own success autonomous of the men’s.
Title IX, a portion of the U.S. Education Amendment Act of 1972, requires that no person on the basis of sex be excluded from participation in any educational
institute including athletics. This has allowed female athletes to be sure they have the appropriate number of sports at a university and are eligible to receive funds.
One example of Metro applying this improvement is the addition of women’s golf in accordance of Title IX in 2013. The use of the word “Lady” is one of many ways to describe our women sports. It’s not discrimination and does not violate this amendment. Discrimination would only apply if Metro did not offer the appropriate number of female sports in proportion to the number of women on campus per law.
HEAD LINE HEAD LINE HEAD LINE
In 2015, 43 years since Title IX, it’s time for The Metropolitan to stop referring to our women’s teams as “Lady Runners.”
These women work hard, train hard and play hard, just like our men’s teams. They’re competitive. They bring home wins and suffer losses, just like the men. They sacrifice their time, relationships and sleep like any student athlete does. They’re elite representatives of MSU Denver, but get reported on like they’re second class citizens. Enough is enough.
In a world where women still suffer violence, oppression and lack of opportunity, every word counts. In the world of sports, where women are still fighting for a level playing field there’s no room for referring to them as “ladies.” They’re athletes. They go to tournaments not tea parties. To have their work on the field diminished in a headline is offensive.
When I’ve raised this point in the newsroom it’s been countered by two, “They don’t mind,” and “That’s what we’ve always done.” Insert side eye emoji here.
First, unless you’ve interviewed each and every MSU Denver female athlete past, present and future and asked them if they mind having you strip them of their right to be called Roadrunners, you can’t speak for them. Even if you had interviewed all of them, asking these athletes if they mind being referred to as “less than” is doubly offensive. Discriminating against others and then asking them to make it okay is privilege at its worst.
Second, to argue it’s not a big deal because it’s what’s always been
done is weak. There have been editors in the past who refused to refer to them as Lady Runners. Even if there weren’t, I can think of plenty of phrases that have always been used in high school, college and professional sports that need to stop, such as the Washington
Redskins, the Ole Miss Rebels and Freeburg Midgets. We can do better, Metropolitan.
In my perfect world, gender wouldn’t matter when it
comes to sports, or anything, but I get that it does. I understand that, as an editor, part of our job is to give the people what they want. Not everyone wants to read about women’s soccer or men’s track and field. If photos aren’t enough to inform the reader about which gender they’re getting into, then differentiate the teams as “men’s” and “women’s” every time. Stop perpetuating this myth that only the men are real Roadrunners.
Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in schools including athletics. Referring to the women as “Lady Runners” is discrimination. The Metropolitan has never referred to the men’s teams as the “Gentleman Runners.” This double standard has to stop. Continuing to dismiss the women’s right to the Roadrunner name violates Title IX. Demeaning them with or without their consent is ethically unconscionable. Doing what has always been done is lazy journalism at best. We must do better, Metropolitan.

Tivoli Turnhalle was launched into the days of roller rinks.
[ELEMENT], a board for student programming, has been organizing Wednesday’s Skate-n-Scare event, Oct. 28, since summer.
“It was just a dream of mine, turning Turnhalle into a roller rink,” said Carlie Blackworth, student programming director in [ELEMENT].
There is no place in the western U.S. to rent a mobile roller-skate-able floor and the wheeled shoes themselves, so All Year Sports Galaxy, a company out of West Virginia, drove two-and-a-
half days to reach the Tivoli Turnhalle.“It is our first interaction with MSU Denver,”
said Lena Stichveski, the owner of All Year Sports Galaxy. “We wanted to make a good impression, and this is such a gorgeous space.”
Only 10 minutes into the event, nearly 100 students were circling the 37-by-37 foot rink lined with white wooden fence and panels. The other attraction ran on a projector behind all the fun with a screening of the Halloween classic “Hocus Pocus.”
“We first heard about the screening just from friends in [ELEMENT],” said Christina Guillen, economics major. “We came for the movie, but we’ll stay for the skating.”

R Ghost Towns
Ghost towns are not only physical remnants of a particular period in history, but of former homes and landmarks that tell a stories of their own.
Colorado is home to many historic ghost towns, most preserved and kept standing by historical societies and land management funding. The majority of the ghost towns that rittle the Rockies are old silver and gold mines that went bust around the end of the 1800s. Two of the most active and successful silver mining towns in the Rocky Mountains were Ashcroft and Animus Forks.
Ashcroft was one of Colorado’s biggest mining towns. With a population of an estimated 2,000 people, the town of Ashcroft was a bustling community with a school, several saloons, a post office and two newspapers.
Today, the town sits quietly, preserved in the mountainous valley just south of Aspen, commemorating the history of its mining heritage by serving as a ghost town museum. Rusty equipment, household appliances, rusty mining artifacts and other memorabilia line the walls in dusty display cases.
“There have been many attempts to develop the valley in the past but none
have been successful, with the entire valley mostly being forest service land for a big portion of its history,” said Mike Monroney, a history coach at Aspen Historical Society. “The primary purpose for preserving these communities is to preserve our heritage, which is very important, along with providing learning opportunities for people from all around.”
About a hundred miles South of Ashcroft lies another Rocky Mountain treasure in the domain of historic ghost mining towns. Named after the three forks of the Animas River and situated in the heart of the San Juan Mountains, Animas Forks has been regarded by locals and tourists as one of the most beautifully preserved ghost towns in the country.
Originally advertised as being the “largest town in the world” during the 1870’s, the town bore a lot of promise for nearby miners in the region.
Today, visitors can take the narrow, and rugged trail to Animas from Silverton, Amid the old mountain cabins and mining mills are informational plaques, detailing the struggles that the citizens encountered in the mountain valley.
“Life at 11,000 feet was awfully tough. It’s amazing to think how they lived and worked up there, it was a hearty group of
people that lived up there,” said Ray Bileo, a retired Silverton local.
The majority of Silverton’s population today shares an important thread to the mining history in the area.
“The town today is filled with miners who go way back. Many of whom are hard of hearing but have been here since the beginning,” Bileo said.
The Gold Prince Mill, which was Animas Forks’ main source of profit and growth ceased operation in 1910,
when mining profits no longer justified investments. Animas Forks had seen its last days by the 1920’s with most of its miners and residence in the area finally retreating back to Silverton.
Discovering the past and insight into a former reality gives us clues into where we are from and what should be held valuable in our homeland. Experiencing some of the Colorado Rocky Mountain’s most popular ghost towns is one way to achieve just that.

incertidumbre, así que una hora de relajación y “Namaste” podía hacer una gran diferencia.
Pero quienes poseen escasos recursos no pueden darse el lujo de pagar $15 para asistir a una clase de yoga. Y la barrera del lenguaje también está presente.
Por eso hace poco más de un año, la instructora de yoga Adriana Rondón-Rivero inició el “VivirYoga Project”. Realiza clases de yoga en español en el South West Improvement Council en el número 1000 en S. Lowell Blvd., tanto para adultos como para niños. Las clases son gratuitas y por donación y ahora cuentan con un segundo instructor, Rolando Murillo.
Rondón-Rivero lo describe como un proyecto social y educativo, que “usa el yoga como un medio para trabajar el autoestima, el amor propio y la sanación”.
Sus clases incluyen series de posturas de yoga como también dinámicas de grupo para traer sanación física y espiritual a miembros de la comunidad. Hacen clases intramuros y algunas especiales al aire libre. Rondón-Rivero practica
yoga desde los seis años. Dice que ha visto muchas historias de sanación con esta disciplina y que además las ha experimentado en carne propia. Comenzó a dar clases hace unos seis años en su ciudad natal Caracas, Venezuela y continuó por un tiempo en Bogotá, Colombia.
Dice que tras mudarse a Denver con su esposo hace dos años, comenzó a descubrir lo que signi� ca ser una inmigrante. “Soy una periodista y trabajadora social y trabajar con gente es lo que siempre he hecho”, dijo. “Aquí me encontré con la realidad de mujeres que no tienen acceso a los mismos recursos que los nacionales tienen”.
Dice que esta realidad la motivó a trabajar con mujeres hispanas y sus hijos usando la herramienta que mejor conoce para elevar su autoestima, el yoga. “Primero me invitó [al SWIC] una amiga” dijo Rondón-Rivero,“ y desde allí brotó como un jardín de � ores este proyecto”.
De acuerdo a Rondón-Rivero, la mayoría de sus alumnas vienen de familias pobres. Muchas aún no hablan bien el inglés. Las ve como trabajadoras intensas y sobrevivientes y “tanto trabajan que sufren de estrés, no duermen o sufren de ansiedad”.
Otras tienen lesiones y dolores causados por labores
extenuantes. Añade que
muchas están en
situaciones familias difíciles, algunas han pasado por relaciones de abusivas; trabajan demasiadas horas para alimentar a sus familias o son amas de casa con muchos hijos.
Algunas alumnas dijeron que buscaron clases en español por un tiempo pero en Denver sólo hay un par de opciones.
Irma Rivera dijo que en un año de yoga ha logrado cosas que no creía posibles, como deshacerse de sus dolores de cabeza. Pero que más importante es que se siente “más segura de sí misma y descubrí que valgo y me merezco una hora para mí misma”.
Aunque tienen distintas historias de vida y han enfrentado diferentes escollos en el camino, encuentran terreno común entre sus tapetes de yoga.
“Lo que nos une en este espacio es que todas somos inmigrantes”, dijo Rondón-Rivero. “Somos mujeres extranjeras. Somos mujeres hispanas. Nos conecta el idioma pero también nos conecta el que dejamos nuestros países y estamos
aquí y
compartimos nostalgias, miedos, compartimos culturas, similitudes y diferencias”.
Rondón-Rivero dijo que esta es su forma de servir y educar a la comunidad que la ha recibido, pero que también la ha ayudado a asimilar y enfrentar su propia historia de
inmigración.

Hoy día, Día de los Muertos secelebra fuera de México, en partes
de Centroamérica ylos Estados Unidos.
El pueblo Azteca, de lo que se conocehoy como México, experimentaron elapogeo de su imperio.
Los Aztecas celebraban un festival anualpara la Diosa del inframundo Mictecacihuatl.Los festejos duraban un mes entero.
Por casi 3000 años, la culturaazteca realizó ceremonias de"muertos" en las que honrabany celebraban la vida y muertede los fallecidos.
Miccailhuitomi (El Festíndel Pequeño Muerto) yMiccailhuitl (el Festín delAdulto Muerto) fueronposteriormente unacelebración azteca dela muerte.
Los españoles conquistaronel Imperio Azteca (Méxicomoderno), y ocasionan laconversión al catolicismo.
Inicialmente, los españolesconsideran sacrílegos losrituales aztecas e intentaneliminarlos por completo.
Para hacer coincidir las celebracionescatólicas del "Día de Todos los Santos" y el
"Día de Todos los Muertos" con latradición religiosa azteca, los españolesmueven el ritual azteca al 1ro y el2 de Noviembre.
El pueblo azteca se asegurade incorporar intensamentesus tradiciones dentro de lanueva celebración llamadaDía de Los Muertos.
El artista mexicano JoséPosada produjo “las catrinas”que rápidamente se conviertenen íconos del Día de los Muertos. Durante el Día de losMuertos, las
almas de los fallecidos regresan acasa para reunirse con quienes loshonran durante los festejos.

E l camino al éxito no es fácil, especialmente en un país que se encuentra lejos de tus raíces. Pero para muchos, el inmigrar a Estados Unidos
es símbolo de cumplir ese objetivo. Es por eso, que hoy en día, el Mes de la Hispanidad marca un tiempo sumamente importante entre la comunidad, ya que es dedicado a honrar los logros y las contribuciones de los Latino-Americanos en este país.
Tal es el caso de Abel Medrano de 26 años de edad. Para el, el ser parte de una minoría en este país ha sido suficiente razón para trabajar duro y convertirse en una persona exitosa. Al igual que todo inmigrante, Medrano desde muy pequeño, llego junto con su familia para obtener una mejor vida y sobretodo, en búsqueda del éxito.
Originario del Estado Grande de Chihuahua, Mex., Medrano fue el primero en su familia en completar una carrera universitaria. Medrano obtuvo una Licenciatura en Op-eraciones de Negocios y Bienes Raíces en el 2012 de la Universi-dad de Colorado de Boulder.
“Siempre eh querido ser el mejor en todo,” Medrano dice. “Soy muy competitivo.”
Por esta razón, Medrano empezó a luchar por sus sueños desde muy temprana edad. El abrió su primer negocio, “Abel’s Car & Detailing,” cuando solamente cursaba su segundo año de preparatoria.
Medrano se encargaba de detallar y transportar automóviles. Con el apoyo de sus padres y hermana y el éxito de este negocio, así fue como se gano la
oportunidad de recibir una educación superiorMedrano actualmente trabaja para la empresa, Cresa, en la ciudad de
Denver. Entre sus responsabilidades incluye ofrecer soluciones de bienes raíces a corto y largo plazo a una variedad de industrias en esta región.
“Es una gran oportunidad de trabajar con los lideres de compañías que ingresan a Colorado,” Medrano dice.
Medra-no también se dedica a manejar el negocio de su familia. Ellos son propi-etarios de una huerta de manzanas en México y se encargan de distribuirlas a todo el país.
Pero a pesar de su gran interés por los negocios, Medrano dice también ser pasionista de la música. Desde pequeño, Medrano aprendió a tocar varios instrumentos, incluyendo la guitarra y el piano. Con influencias Cubanas por parte de su padre, el dice siempre haber tenido una debilidad por la música.
“Si pudiera iniciar todo de nuevo, hubiera escogido la música desde el principio” Medrano dice. “Me da energía y felicidad.”
Es por eso que Medrano, junto con otros entusiastas de la música, han unido sus talentos para formar una banda de rock en español que se llama James Band. Pero por el momento, Medrano dice disfrutar de la música como pasatiempo, ya que uno de sus sueños continua siendo algún día poder llegar ser dueño de una corporación.
Su recomendación para todos aquellos estudiantes es que nunca dejen de perseguir sus sueños, al igual que es importante siempre trabajar mas que tu prójimo.
“Hay que ser el primero que llegue al trabajo y el ultimo que se va, así de simple.”

The Roadrunners swept the Chadron State College Eagles in dominating fashion Halloween night at the Auraria Event Center to increase their record to 16-9 (12-3 conference).
Metro outclassed CSC in every facet of the game. The Roadrunner offense hit .320 while the defense allowed a stingy .204 hit percentage for the Eagles. Metro walked away from the match with scores of 25-18, 25-15 and 25-18 for the decisive victory.
Though CSC was 6-8 in conference play, they came into the match with big wins over the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, Colorado Christian University, and New Mexico Highlands.
Head coach Debbie Hendricks said, “We did not take them lightly. I really thought our team did a nice job of coming in focused and intentional and playing to the level we’re capable of.”
Her tone was reflected by the serious manner in which the players conducted themselves during the match.
“We took them really seriously and I think that showed,” said sophomore
defensive specialist Jackie Lopez.The story of the night was the serve
game showcased by Metro. “We try and serve tough in practice,
that’s a big part of our game plan,” said senior outside hitter Abbie Noland.
Metro amassed a whopping 12 aces, while the serve-receive game was absolute perfection, managing not to allow a single ace to CSC all night.
Offensive impact players for Metro included the usual suspects. Junior outside hitter Michaela Smith led the way offensively with 15 kills and three aces. Senior outside hitter Summer Greager had 12 kills, nine digs and a .400 hit percentage. Sophomore Ryan Hoerdemann had nine kills, four blocks and a highly efficient .600 hit percentage.
On the defensive side, senior defensive specialist Kylie Haun managed some acrobatic saves on her way to collecting 16 digs for the night. Senior setter Brandi Torr had another outstanding performance, coming up with five aces, three blocks and 36 assists.
The Roadrunners will hit the road to face Western State University Nov. 6 in Gunnison, Colorado.

The Metro men’s soccer team ended the regular season on a high note with two tight 2-1 victories over Adams State and Fort Lewis Oct. 30 and Nov. 1.
The victories extended their run of undefeated games to nine with the Roadrunners winning eight and a draw.
First up for the team was an All Hallow’s Eve trek down to Durango to face Fort Lewis. Metro started strong by putting a lot of pressure on the Skyhawks’ defense, with junior forward Josh Belfrage particularly making himself a nuisance.
It was Belfrage who opened the scoring from the spot in the 10th minute to continue his purple patch in front of goal, which now extends to seven for the season. The Skyhawks put up a fight, but junior goalkeeper Hayden Rus made four saves to keep the score
at 1-0 going into the break. That wouldn’t last long
however, as Fort Lewis equalized just 50 seconds into the second half. A cross found Tamino Kroeger in the box, and finished past Rus from five yards out to set up an intriguing second half.
Ten minutes later, junior forward Jeff Gillis put Metro back in front after senior forward Danny Arrubla set him up in the center of the box. It was Gillis’ fourth of the season, which would turn out to be the winning goal.
The Skyhawks could not get back in the game, getting caught offsides a whopping six times and failing to force a save from Rus in the second half.
The Roadrunners then went on to Adams State Nov. 1, where they proved that lightning can strike twice. Despite outshooting the opposition 11-5, it was the Roadrunners who conceded first as Ethan Jackson finished past
Rus in the 26th minute. This time it was the Runners who entered the half losing 1-0, but they were unlucky to be losing considering the pattern of play.
In the 55th minute, it was Belfrage from the spot once again to equalize for Metro and took his goal tally to eight for the season. If that wasn’t deja vu enough, Gillis grabbed another game-winning goal — and his fifth for the season — after heading in a cross from junior defender Nolan Barth to win the game for Metro in dramatic style in the 85th minute. It was no more than the Roadrunners deserved after outshooting Adams State 23-10.
The men ended the regular season with a record of 13-3-2 (8-2 RMAC). They will play Fort Lewis again in the quarterfinals of the RMAC championship Nov. 4 at The Regency Athletic Complex. The first 100 Metro students will get in for free.

Metro women’s soccer finalized a spot in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament, after a match against CSU Pueblo. The game ended in a draw on senior day at The Regency Athletic Complex Nov. 1.
Freshman forward Regina Banks notched her fifth goal of the season in the sixth minute off a corner kick from senior forward McKinzie Rieber. As for Rieber, she wasn’t finished, as she added her fourth goal of the year when she connected from inside the box in the 25th minute to push Metro’s lead to 2-0.
The Roadrunners took that 2-0 lead into halftime.
The second half was a different story as the Thunderwolves wouldn’t give up the fight.
CSU Pueblo forward Brianna Garcia tallied her first goal of the season in the 69th minute off a crossing pass from teammate Sandra Grimaldo.
Garcia and Grimaldo then combined on the equalizer in the 89th minute, which would go on to be the final goal of the game after no goals were scored in the two overtime periods.
With the tie, the Lady Runners became the No. 5 seed in the RMAC tournament finishing the season with a record of 7-6-5 (4-2-5 RMAC). They will begin the tournament at Regis University on Nov. 4 at 2 p.m.
