At its first home game of the season, the Miners (1-2-1) got its season‘s first victory over New Mexico State (NMSU) Aggies 3-1. The three goals from the Miners came in the first half of the game. A few weeks ago, NM State defeated UTEP in the first exhibition game of the season. UTEP also tied against Utah Valley Saturday after a two-overtime half, but both teams ended with a scoreless tie.
On Thursday, the Aggies controlled the first few minutes of the game, but then the Miners got on the scoreboard at the eighth minute of the match; Jackie Soto scored her fifth career goal with an assist by Jojo Ngongo.
