PHOENIX, Ariz. - The NM State soccer team (3-5) held off a fierce comeback by Grand Canyon (1-6) to pick up its third win of the season Saturday afternoon at GCU Stadium in Phoenix, Ariz. Saturday was the first time the Aggies have beaten Grand Canyon in Phoenix, and it also tied for the most wins in WAC play under head coach Rob Baarts.
The Aggies wasted no time getting on the board, as sophomore Hannah Leitner broke away from the pack on a pass from junior Corey Kizer.
