National Championship Tournament
Once again the Rams return to St. Louis for the 2004 USL MDIA tournament, ranked #2 they have a tough set of games to make it back to the championship game. First Round: In Tuesday's first game it was run & gun against the #15 Simon Fraser Clan, as Dave Clark dominated the face-off X and seventeen players got points, the Rams cruised to a final score of 23-7. (see game stats)
  
Quarter Finals: Wednesday's game was a whole different story, almost a repeat of last year's A&M game, with #7 Michigan looking to pull the upset. After going up 3-0 the Rams fell into a 42 minute rut of 6 Michigan goals to only 1 for CSU, leaving the Rams down 4-6 in the 3rd. But, then came the time-out (see it here on AVI video) that started the turn-around, a 7 goal 4th quarter which saw the return of the CSU Rams we love so much, running and guning with punishing defense shutting them down for a final score of 11-7. (see game stats)
 
Semi-Finals: The Rams returned to action Friday after a day of rest. They'll faced-off with #7 Brigham Young in the semi-final match at an earlier time and on a turf field, but the outcome was not changed, as the Rams held off the Cougers 16-10.
Championship: In Saturday's USL-MDIA Championships, the sixth in a row for the Rams, it was a rematch of last year's final against UCSB. CSU served the league well by putting together the most competitive game of the week for the College Sports Television cameras. It was a hard fought game with no more than a two goal streak by either team and an outstanding show of talent and teamwork. The Gouchos managed to hold off the Rams by simply getting a few of the important little things to go their way. The final score was 7-8.
So . . . the streak of winning every other year continues and you can expect the Rams to do their best in 2005 to win the title again.
Rocky Mountain Showdown

Michigan Invitational - April 2-4
CSU's return to Michigan was about 15 minutes behind schedule as #5 U of M got off to a 0-3 start, though it was followed by an 11-1 CSU string to finish off the Wolverines 11-4. On Saturday, as 14 players earned points, CSU defeated #12 Minnesota-Duluth 22-4. On Sunday, in a tightly matched game vs #2 UCSB, the gauchos came from behind in the 4th to earn UCSB a 8-10 victory over CSU. See Flip's Journal for his views.
