CSC Football Travels To Gunnison To Face Mountaineers

Paxton Ritchey-CSC Sports Information

CHADRON, Neb. – Chadron State will take its final road trip of the season, heading to the thin air of the highest elevation in college sports to take on an opponent in the thick of the RMAC title race. The Eagles (3-6, 2-5 RMAC) will battle No. 11 Western Colorado (8-1, 6-1 RMAC) in Gunnison, Colorado this Saturday. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. 

After a 42-point homecoming win three weeks ago, Chadron State is coming off back-to-back one score losses to their two closest geographical rivals, Black Hills State and South Dakota Mines. Western Colorado started the year 8-0, including a win over Colorado School of Mines, but lost last weekend to CSU Pueblo in a matchup of then-Top 10 teams.

The game can be streamed live on the RMAC Network. 

Looking Back

Chadron State faced South Dakota Mines in the Eagle-Rock Trophy game last Saturday, with the visitors earning the trophy with a narrow 24-17 victory over the Eagles. CSC now has four one-score losses this season.

The Eagles scored on a touchdown reception by Tommy Thomas from backup quarterback Miguel Larios and a blocked punt by redshirt freshman Liam Blaser that senior Brodie Roden recovered and returned for a touchdown.
