Women’s soccer team loses to No. 8 Texas A&M 3-0

The women’s soccer team Sunday lost 3-0 to Texas A&M, which is ranked No. 8 in the nation by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, at Garvey-Rosenthal Soccer Stadium.

The first half remained scoreless until the 40th minute when A&M forward Emma Smith made a goal off a pass from forward Heather Ragsdale.

The second half looked like the first, with the last two goals being scored in the closing 13 minutes.

Although this was not the first home game of the season, there was a record-breaking number of patrons — 1,723 — at the match. The stadium seats 1,000. The extra people were seated on the edges of the field.

This weekend, the Horned Frogs will play two of their first conference games at home. They face East Carolina on Friday and Charlotte on Sunday.
