LAREDO, Texas – A goal in the fourth minute from
Alexia Maldonado was the difference on Wednesday night as the St. Mary's University Women's Soccer team defeated Texas A&M International to pick up its first win of the season.
Maldonado took six shots, three of them on frame including the game-winner off an assist from
Miranda Narvaez. The Rattlers outshot the Dustdevils 13-6 in the victory.
St. Mary's starting goalkeeper
Cameron Koerner held Texas A&M International scoreless and registered the first shutout of the season for the Rattlers. The St. Mary's defense made things difficult for the Dustdevil attack, holding them to just one shot on goal.
The Rattlers return to the pitch next Tuesday as they make the short trip to Our Lady of the Lake University to take on the Saints. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. at OLLU Soccer Field.
