Dixie State lost for the fifth time in its last six matches as the Trailblazers came up just short at No. 16 Colorado School of Mines, 1-0, Friday night at Stermole Stadium.

CSM (10-1-0/7-0-0 RMAC), which peppered the Trailblazers with 25 shot attempts for the match, struck for only goal on the night early in the 10^th-minute when Julian Kehe headed home a Lucas King throw-in just inside the far post.

Dixie State (3-7-1/1-5-1 RMAC) attempted seven of eight shot shots in the second half, with four of those shots on frame, but the Blazers could not net the equalizer. Junior Moises Medina (Mesquite, Nev./Virgin Valley HS) had a scoring chance turned away at the 49:20 mark, and senior Dominic Damato (Las Vegas, Nev./Shadow Ridge HS) had a pair of looks stopped by Oredigger keeper Drew Johnson. Junior Gustavo Ortega (Las Vegas, Nev./Cimarron Memorial HS) also had two good chances to tie the match over the final six-plus minutes of regulation, however neither shot would finds its mark.

DSU netminder Zach Nielson (West Point, Utah/Northridge HS) (106) made a career-high eight saves and in the process, became just the third goalkeeper in the program's history to make 100-plus saves.

The Trailblazers continue their road trip Sunday at South Dakota Mines.
