SAN ANGELO, Texas – Despite a career-high nine saves by St. Mary's University goalkeeper
Haley Faucette, the Women's Soccer team could not overcome an early goal, losing 2-0 to Angelo State for the second straight year.
Faucette, a senior from Burlington, N.C., made nine saves, bettering her previous career-high of eight at Catawba on Feb. 25, 2021, when she played at Wingate. She faced 18 total shots with 11 on goal.
Angelo State (5-2-3, 4-1-2) jumped out to the early 1-0 lead, scoring in the third minute on a goal by Abby St. James that found the bottom right of the goal off a feed from Hannah Carrier. The Rambelles added a penalty kick goal in the 66th minute by Sanai Stewart for the 2-0 victory.
The Rattlers (5-5-1, 4-4-0) had more chances at set pieces, taking six corners, compared to four for the Rambelles, but StMU was called for offsides three times on the day.
Senior
Shelby Paniagua (Cibolo, Texas) posted two of the team's four shots on goal on Saturday afternoon, but both attempts were saved.
St. Mary's hosts Midwestern State on Wednesday, Oct. 15, for Pink Out night. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
