The Lobos (8-4, 3-1 MW), after falling 3-0 to Boise State, beat Utah State (6-5-1, 1-3 MW) away from home with a literal last-minute goal, coming in 28 seconds before the end of the game.
Neither side was able to create much in the way of chances for the majority of the game. Both sides defended well and made it difficult for one another to find a way through.
But in the 81st minute, UNM freshman Alexa Kirton broke the deadlock.
A scramble in the Aggies’ penalty area found its way to Kirton, and after having her initial shot blocked, she regained control of the ball and created an angle for herself, launching the ball into the left side of the goal.
