Last Week: U-Mary recorded a draw against Northwest Nazarene in the previous week after they overcame a team goal to spot the Crusaders a 1-0 lead with a goal from Alex Boyes off a rebounded free kick. The Marauders then faced Montana State University-Billings and forward Christoffer Nogueira was the difference in that game. Nogueira recorded his first goal of the match in the second minute after taking a through pass from Jonathan Sellars and beating the keeper one-on-one. Nogueira then netted his second goal in the 64th minutes after curving a corner kick into the far post past the outstretched hands of the goal keeper. Christoffer's play earned him an honorable mention from the GNAC for Offensive Player of the Week.
