Things weren't looking very promising.
The University of New Mexico women's soccer team trailed 2-0 to the Utah State Aggies on Sunday afternoon at the UNM Soccer Complex, despite outshooting its opponent in the opening 45 minutes.
There were two goals allowed and just one save to its credit on the UNM side, while Utah State's keeper saved both of the rare attempts on goal on the other.
A conference loss would have dealt a serious blow to New Mexico and its postseason aspirations, sending it into the bottom half of the conference standings with just five matches remaining — three of which are on the road.
