High-Impact Showdowns on Home Turf

The spotlight shines brightest in Pueblo, where two major home events carry massive national and postseason consequences:

• Football chases RMAC Crown: On Saturday at 1 p.m., the third-ranked ThunderWolves football team welcomes the fourth-ranked Western Colorado Mountaineers to the ThunderBowl. With the fictitious U. S. Highway 50 Cup at stake, the clash of unbeatens carries direct weight for the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference title and the league's automatic berth to the NCAA Division II Championships. The selection show announcing the postseason bracket is on Sunday at 4 p.m. on NCAA.com. TICKETS / CCC #1 / CCC #2
• Men's Soccer Postseason Push: On Sunday at 3 p.m., the No. 3-seeded Pack men’s soccer squad hosts Cal State San Bernardino (CSUSB) at the Art and Lorraine Gonzales Stadium. The winner advances directly to the third round of the NCAA Division II Championships on November 20. NCAA BRACKET / TICKETS

• Men's Basketball Opening Nights: As the projected No. 2 team in the RMAC, the men’s basketball team hosts Lone Star Conference rivals Midwestern State of Texas on Friday and Cameron of Oklahoma on Saturday. Although the games don't count in the standings, each contest carries weight in the regional ranking system to determine postseason bids. Tip-off is at 6 p.m. both nights at Massari Arena. READ MORE
