In an evening that saw the Lobos come close to scoring on several occasions, it was Aggie senior forward Devin Hart’s decisive pass and junior forward Audriana Chavez’s clinical finish that decided this year’s Rio Grande rivalry.
On a two on one counter attack only moments before the final whistle, Hart barreled down the UNM left hand side, forcing UNM senior defender Emily Chavez to leave Audriana Chavez unmarked at the top of the box, and when the pass came to her, she coolly collected the ball and slotted it into the bottom left corner.
The Lobos (1-2) dominated the game in possession and outshot their opponents 18-6 but were unable to find a way past freshman goalkeeper Dmitri Fong.
