LAS VEGAS, N.M. (September 30, 2015) – In a rare midweek Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference matchup, the Colorado State University-Pueblo women's soccer team fell 3-2 against New Mexico Highlands University Wednesday at Messina Field.

Amanda Jorgensen (Sr., F, Wailuku, Hawai'i) played one of her better offensive games, getting the Pack on the scoreboard in the 56th minute, cutting into the Cowgirl lead.

Shae McNutt (Jr., F, League City, Tex.) was credited with an assist.

The Cowgirls extended the lead 3-1 on the third goal of the game scored by Mallory Bostic. She led the game with eight shots.

Jorgensen connected her second goal of the game in the 88th minute but with little time remaining in the game.  

The late Pack rally fell short, dropping the game 3-2.

For the game the CSU-Pueblo led both statistical categories, having a 20-16 shots advantage and a 7-2 lead in corner kicks.

Pack Goalkeeper Alison Darr (Jr., Placerville, Calif.) made four saves at the net on sixteen Cowgirl shots.
