The San Diego State women’s soccer team took care of business against the UNLV Rebels, winning 2-0 at Peter Johann Memorial Field on Thursday night in their first of a two-match road trip.
The Aztecs (11-2-2, 6-0-1 Mountain West Conference) showed why they lead the Mountain West Conference by taking control early against the Rebels (6-5-5, 2-3-2). Midfielder Denise Castro, who was named the conference Offensive Player of the Week, scored her eighth goal of the season in the fifth minute to give the Aztecs a 1-0 lead.
Castro took advantage of a mishap by the Rebels’ defense and netted it past the goalkeeper.
