LAS CRUCES, N.M. — NM State dropped its first Conference USA match of the season Sunday afternoon, falling 2-0 to Liberty at the NM State Soccer Athletic Complex. The reigning CUSA champions capitalized on a pair of strikes in each half to hand the Aggies their first league loss.
The match remained scoreless in the first ten minutes as NM State's back line and goalkeeper Valerie Guha kept the Flames in check despite sustained pressure. Guha finished with five saves on the day, giving the Aggies the edge in stops over Liberty's keeper, who was called upon just three times.
