EL PASO, Texas – The New Mexico State women's soccer team conceded an early goal and never recovered as it dropped a 4-1 decision at UTEP in the Battle of I 10 Sunday night.
"That was an unfortunate performance," said head coach Rob Baarts. "I think the first half our team came and just didn't compete, didn't see what was coming. UTEP plays a very direct, over the top game and it took us the entire first half to figure that out and at this level you just can't take that long. You have to come to the game knowing this is essentially a cross-town rivalry and it's a fight.
