SAN MARCOS, Texas – The Texas A&M Aggies continued a spring of growth with a 3-0 victory over the Texas State Bobcats in Saturday afternoon's exhibition match at Bobcat Soccer Complex.
The Maroon & White continued their strong defensive effort this spring, now outscoring their opponents 19-1 in 390 minutes of action. In their last three matches, they have topped Lamar, Baylor and Texas State by a count of 7-1.
Laney Carroll, who has scored on all four playing dates this spring, broke the scoring seal in the ninth minute. Her icebreaker was set up with assists from Karlina Sample and Carissa Boeckmann.
In the 40th minute, Jai Smith scored in her second consecutive match with helpers from the freshman tandem of Georgia Leb and Caroline Kniffen.
Another rookie logged an assist on the final goal in the 81st minute. A shot from freshman Sydney Becerra caromed out Boeckmann who sent in a one-timer from 15 yards.
With Boeckmann's goal, 12 different Aggies have scored a goal in the 390 minutes of play.
The Maroon & White wrap up the schedule on Saturday, April 9 with a 6 pm match against the ULM Warhawks.
