after their loss on Monday.
ROADRUNNER BRIEFS Volleyball creeps up ranks The MSU Denver volleyball team received 41 votes in the American Volleyball Coaches Association poll on Sept. 9 — good enough to tie for 32nd place. The Roadrunners were tied for the highest ranked team from the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference with Regis University and received two more votes than the Colorado School of Mines. MSU Denver went 4-0 over the weekend in the Concordia Volleyball Classic Tournament in Portland, Oregon, only dropping one set and taking down No. 20 Cal Poly Pomona. The Roadrunners return to the Auraria Event Center for the Colorado Premier Challenge on Friday, where they’ll host No. 9 Tarleton State followed by No. 15 Southwest Minnesota State.

Bautista named RMAC Offensive Player of the Week Roadrunners midfielder Danny Bautista’s two goals in MSU Denver’s first win of the season were enough for him to earn the RMAC Offensive Player of the Week. He scored both goals against St. Edward’s University in the team’s 2-0 win on Sunday. Bautista scored just one goal all of last season and is poised for a breakout year after matching his career-high in goals from 2017. MSU Denver heads across town to Regis University for their next match up on Friday at 3 p.m.
Women’s golf finishes sixth in Sam Proal Invitational Four of five Roadrunners placed in the top 50 of the Farmers Insurance Sam Proal Invitational in Pueblo on Tuesday. After finishing in ninth place on Day 1, MSU Denver made a push into sixth after a big day from Sydney Eye and a strong performance from Jennifer Hankins, who finished tied for 20th, golfing a 159 (+15). Masi Smith finished tied for 26th at 162 (+18), Kika Dzoan golfed a 166 (+22), and Winnie Shaw golfed a 172 (+28). The next contest for the Roadrunners is Sept. 16 in Grand Junction for the Maverick Fall Invitational.

“I like my food to have girth.” “I was fending off a kitchen full of g—amn people.”
Capricorn
Cancer
A foul omen will visit you in the near future. If you can face it with equitability, it’ll clear your way to an easy October.
The turning of the moon will see a period of personal pain. But, like many things, it will be a passing phase. Work through it, and you’ll find yourself in a better place.
Aquarius
Leo
It might seem trite when people tell you to go with the flow, Aquarius, but there is more than a grain of truth to the suggestion. Flexibility is the key to facing new challenges.
Much like the summer sun, you’ll find yourself shining deep into the start of fall. Even though the changing season is a time of solitude, don’t let it dampen your creativity.
Pisces
Virgo
You’ve been struggling with a decision between a safe choice and a passionate one for some weeks now. The next couple of days promise to show you your path forward.
Virgo often finds itself taken by flights of passion. While a level head is to be commended, your current roiling heart should be allowed to shine through.
“I think it boils down to alcoholism and kidney stones.” “It’s basically ‘Mean Girls,’ but with murder.”

Libra The week for Libra looks promising. You’re unlikely to experience anything unexpected, so make plans and look forward to them hitting home for once.
Scorpio
Life is a bit all over just this minute, but on the whole things are good. Don’t worry about the chaos and enjoy the moment while things are looking up.
Scoripo should mind their needs this week. Requirements can be exacting, but they usually are there for a reason. Abide by them, and you’ll look the better for it.
Gemini
Sagittarius
The twins will feel on the defensive. It’s true that you’re the center of attention, but that’s doesn’t have to be bad. Seize the initiative and make that spotlight your own.
You’re in the perfect spot for a moment of self reflection. Look back on the last few months and make sure you’re sticking to your course and not falling adrift of expectations.
