Given club status, but still allowing the members to compete in intramurals made for a very fit team. The highlight of the spring season was a week-long tour to Utah that began in Denver and meandered through the ski slopes of Vail and Aspen before two mid-week matches with the University of Utah and BYU. Alta ski basin was the next stop before the return to Denver and a Sunday match with Regis College. Coach Osur demonstrated his wild nature on the pitch easily transferred to the ski slopes.

We continued to sweep Colorado teams, capturing the ERRFU tournament with a victory over a men’s team, the Denver Highlanders, on a great break and score by Doug Metzler. Finishing the first ERRFU Seven’s by taking 1st, 2nd, and our third team tying for 3rd was the greatest way to christen this tournament, which went on to become the Denver Seven’s.

Low points in the season were a disappointing loss to Cal Berkeley on a wet and muddy field (although the trip was great!), and another loss to BYU in the Rocky Mountain Championship.
