This weekend in Riverton, the Central Wyoming College Rustler men's soccer team faced off in rigorous conference matchups against the Northeastern Junior College and the Lamar Community College. Despite an ardent effort, the Rustlers concluded the events with defeats in both games.

Starting Friday, the Rustlers struggled against Northeastern Junior College, trailing 0-3 by halftime. The opposing team's forward line was particularly formidable, with goals from Edoardo Mitcul, and Alec Cracknell scoring twice along with Luca Mammi, leading to a final score of 6-0 in favor of Northeastern.

On Saturday, the atmosphere was tense as the Rustlers took on Lamar Community College. The game was evenly poised with a 0-0 score at halftime. The Rustlers' only goal emerged from Josh Bromwell, assisted skillfully by Charles Jones. Lamar responded with strikes from Oliver Lopez and a decisive game-winning goal from Fernando Rodriguez, concluding the game at a narrow 2-1 loss for Central Wyoming. Stanley Schumann, the Rustlers' goaltender, was noted for his resilience facing an ambitious lineup across both games.

The men's soccer team set an all-time record of 6 total wins during the regular season, and are set to host a NJCAA Region 9 playoff game for the first time in program history. The Rustlers are gearing up to take on Laramie County Community College in their first round playoff matchup in Riverton, WY on October 18, at 1 PM.
