Fall Hardrocker action is officially underway, and the teams are already making noise. The football team kicked off the season with an impressive win over Division I Drake University, while soccer opened the year 1-0-1 after its first weekend. Volleyball also got off to a strong start, posting three wins and just one loss at the recent Hardrocker Invitational. Hardrocker cross country will start the season on Sep. 11 at the Gage McSpadden Memorial Invite in Sturgis. They also have two home meets, hosting the annual Bauer XC Classic on Sep. 18, and the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference championships on Nov. 7, both at Hart Ranch.

The Hardrocker men’s and women’s golf will start the season at the Travis Roy Memorial Invite in Sheridan, Wyo., on Sept. 13-15 and will close out the fall season at home with the Hardrocker Fall Invite at Red Rocks on Oct. 4-6. 

With plenty of excitement building across campus, Mines Athletics has released the complete fall schedule and is inviting Hardrocker fans to pack the stands, cheer on the teams and show their support for their hometown university.
