Box Score

Season Stats


THE BASICS:
 
  • Score: West Texas A&M 1, #8 Angelo State 0
 
  • Records: West Texas A&M 11-6-5, Angelo State 13-5-1
 
  • Location: Colorado Springs, Colo. (Mountain Lion Stadium)
 
  • The Lead: In almost a mirror image of last Sunday's Lone Star Conference Championship game, West Texas A&M sophomore Shanelle Arjoon scored the lone goal as the Lady Buffs posted a 1-0 victory over eighth-ranked Angelo State Friday in the first round of the NCAA South Central Regional.  Arjoon had the lone goal last weekend earning LSC Tournament Most Valuable Player honors. 
 
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:
 
  • Just as in the Lone Star Conference Championship game last week, the teams played to a scoreless draw through the first half.
  • ASU had the first look of the game at 3:23 as Mackenzie Broderick hit the post and then later, Elizabeth Rodriguez had a good look, but WT junior goalkeeper Courtney Dippel was there for the save.
  • The Lady Buffs had their first good look on a corner by sophomore Marlene van Mourik and a header by Arjoon with a save from ASU goalkeeper Sammy Cude seconds later.
  • ASU's Cassandra Moosburger had a shot and save by Dippel at the 16:36 mark, and teams traded shots and saves late in the half for a scoreless draw.
  • The Lady Buffs continued on the attack early in the second half as freshman Jessica Diaz had a good look with a save from Cude and redshirt freshman Hannah Kelley hit the crossbar. 
  • Junior Khadidra Debesette had a good as Cude again was up to the task with a save at the 65:29 mark and Arjoon followed with another shot on frame. 
  • Arjoon got the break through goal in the 73rd minute as she scored her third of the season in traffic inside the box for a 1-0 lead.  She scored the lone goal in the LSC Championship game almost at the exact same time as she scored at the 74:04 mark last week and today at the 72:32 mark.
  • Dippel came up with a huge save on a shot from Morgan Sibson in the 88th minute and, off a corner by the Rambelles, Ally Warren's shot sailed wide left.

  • For the half, WT had seven shots with three on goal, while ASU had four shots and three on frame.
  • The Lady Buffs had the lone corner kick of the half, while Arjoon led the way with two shots on goal.
