CSU-Pueblo 1, New Mexico Highlands 0
CSU-Pueblo earned a measure of vengeance Wednesday when it
hosted New Mexico Highlands, the team defeated the Pack last
Friday, at a wet Rawlings Sports Complex, downing the Cowgirls 1-0.
The ThunderWolves' lone goal came on a perfectly-placed attack
by Brittani
Montgomery (Fr., El Paso, Tex.), who took a pass from
Janel
Barnes (Jr., Littleton, Colo.), and rolled the
ball by Highlands keeper Lauren Waite for the game-winner just
eight minutes into the first period. The Pack's goal came
after Highlands held the ball in the Pack end almost exclusively to
begin the game, but unable to come up with any quality chances.
Keeper Randi Walters (Sr.,
Oxnard, Calif.) threw her first complete shutout of the
season, making four saves on the Cowgirls' seven shots. She
led a defensive effort by the Pack that protected the lead well
after gaining the 1-0 advantage.
CSU-Pueblo's win is its second straight, evening their record at
2-2 in RMAC play and 3-4-1 overall. Highlands, meanwhile,
falls to 1-7 overall and 1-3 in RMAC play.
