Metro State finished the 2009-10 season with a 17-12 overall record, including 11-8 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, good for third place in the East Division after being picked fifth in the division in coaches preseason poll. Metro State eventually lost to fourth-ranked Fort Lewis in the RMAC Shootout semifinals. FLC ended up as the 2010 Central Region Champion and reached the national title game. Even more impressive, the Roadrunners did so without a post player on its roster after January as the team&rsquo;s only two posts were dismissed from the team in December after violating team rules.
