Late Penalty Kick Sinks No. 13 Women's Soccer Against No. 12 Texas A&M

SANTA CLARA, Calif.– Despite being on the offensive most of the night, No. 13 Santa Clara women's soccer dropped a 3-2 match to No. 12 Texas A&M Thursday night at Stevens Stadium in the 2019 season opener.

The Broncos (0-1) held a 19-8 advantage in shots and an 8-5 edge in shots on goal while drawing 13 corners kicks and allowing just two, but the Aggies (1-0) got the benefit of a foul call in the box in in the final 10 minutes and took advantage on the ensuing penalty kick.

Jimena Lopez stepped to the spot with the game even at 2-all in the 81st minute and connected on her attempt inside the right post to give Texas A&M a 3-2 lead.
