Moranchel, Obotette honored with all-RMAC selections

The Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference has announced that CSU-Pueblo senior goalkeeper Arturo Moranchel and junior Udobong Obotette have been named to the all-RMAC men's soccer team.

Moranchel was a second-team selection while Obotette was an honorable mention selection.
Moranchel had a good season between the pipes, logging four shutouts, a career high, and boasting a goals against average of 1.77. He was also named RMAC Defensive Player of the Week on Oct. 17 following two shutouts over Colorado Mines and UC-Colorado Springs. Moranchel was also named RMAC Defensive Player of the Week on one occasion in 2006.

Obotette flourished in his first season with the ThunderWolves, tying for the team lead in goals scored with three, and leading the team in points (seven). He also logged two game-winning goals, the first in the Pack's first win of the season over St. Mary's Sept. 2, and the second on Oct. 14 in a 1-0 shutout of Colorado Mines.

The RMAC also named its players and coach of the year, and CSU-Pueblo players didn't garner any honors. Colorado Mines senior Craig Thompson won player of the year honors, Metro State keeper Garrett Sadusky won defensive player of the year, Metro State coach Ken Parsons won coach of the year, and Regis forward Nathan Kafer was honored as the freshman of the year.
