Box score
ST. George, Utah – Coming off a 2-0 shutout on Friday night, the NM State women’s soccer program is back in action to face Utah Tech on the road Sunday afternoon for a matchup featuring the top two seeds in the Western Athletic Conference.
Much of the first half was even – both teams saw good scoring opportunities, but both defenses struggled to find goals as they went wide. That was until the 33rd minute when Utah Tech found the back of the net for the first points of the game. That’s when things started to get out of hand.
Two more goals by the Trailblazers, including an own goal by the Aggies, gave Utah Tech a 3-0 lead. Holiday McKinsey He scored a goal in the 55th minute, cutting the deficit to two, but that was all the Aggies could muster offensively as they ended up falling 3-1.
Summary of results | Box point
33′ | Savannah Stauffer scored for the Followers. McKenna Gottschalk She collided with a defender in the backfield. Amazingly, the official didn’t call the foul and Stauffer intercepted the pass and put Gottschalk in before returning to her position.
43′ | Midway through the game, the Devils added another goal through an Aggie own goal. The goal came from a corner kick that went straight into the middle of the field. The ball bounced off an Aggie defender and past Gottschalk for a goal.
52′ | In the second half, the Aegs continued to struggle defensively. Ten yards from the halfway line, Emily Garbett’s free kick from the right-hand side gave the substitutes a 3-0 lead.
55′ | Shortly after the Trailblazers scored, Holiday McNeese She scored her second goal of the weekend and seventh of the season. Thalia Chaverria He got the ball across the midfield. Maya Hammock in position. Hammack continued to direct a shot from about 20 yards out to McNeese who found the bottom right corner of the net. The Aggies are now up 3-1.
