Soccer closes non-conference season looking for a win

The Cougars women’s soccer team will return to the pitch this Friday to host the New Mexico State University Aggies, aiming to continue its hot start and finish the non-conference schedule on a strong note.

The Cougars (4-1-1) come into the weekend in good form after dominating the University of Texas at San Antonio in a 2-0 shutout.

Junior midfielder Vanessa Almaguer and sophomore forward Desiree Bowen both found the back of the net in the second half against the Roadrunners. Freshman Nicole Young made some stellar saves to keep the clean sheet after sophomore starting-keeper Rachel Estopare had an injury and was carted off.
