The Boulder Panthers closed out an impressive regular season on Friday night with a 7-0 victory over the Brighton Bulldogs on the road. Under a brisk night sky and bright lights, Boulder played with the consistency and focus that have marked their season, finishing 14-0-1 overall and a perfect 5-0 in conference play. With 79 goals scored, 63 assists, and just 4 goals conceded (two from penalties), Boulder next heads into the playoffs.

Boulder quickly set the pace for the match. In the opening ten minutes, Player of the Game David Bojorquez curled a right-footed shot low into the left corner to open the scoring. Bojorquez soon added his second goal, giving the Panthers a comfortable early lead. Brighton, up against Boulder's backline of Zac Sheinbaum, Devan Lyons, Santiago Martinez Garcia, and Logan Coughlin, struggled to make inroads and often found themselves contained as Boulder repeatedly moved into the final third.

By halftime, Boulder had established a four-goal lead, showcasing strong communication and team play. The second half followed a similar course, with Coach Hardy Kalisher rotating his starters to rest and refine the lineup in preparation for the postseason.

Two of Boulder's second-half goals came from the penalty spot, with Xander Sevian confidently converting the first, followed by a finish from Will Weber for the second. Junior Mikel Mackey, the third leading scorer on the team (12) added two top-notch finishes as well. Boulder maintained control throughout, while senior goalkeeper Aden Heath recorded his ninth shutout of the season, completing the regular season with an impressive Goals Against Average of 0.318.
