Aug 11, 2022 | Soccer
BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The Texas A&M soccer team showcased their talent with a 2-1 victory over the SFA Ladyjacks in Thursday night's exhibition match at Ellis Field.
The Aggies outpaced the Ladyjacks in shots (23-4), shots-on-goal (7-2), and corner kicks (13-0).
Sophomore Laney Carroll got the Aggies on the board after Makhiya McDonald shuffled the ball towards the goal with a nutmeg. Carroll backheeled the pass into the net for the icebreaker.
Georgia Leb impressed in her first time in the Maroon & White. With quick thinking inside the 6-yard box, the freshman hit a top-shelf goal over SFA goalkeeper Logan Pilgreen's head. Assists were credited to Maile Hayes and Sydney Becerra.
With a free kick outside the penalty area at 77th minute, a Ladyjack shot the ball high with a header and an Aggie attempt to clear the goal careened back in, resulting in SFA's lone score.
