LAS CRUCES, N.M. – The Aggies battled to a 0-0 draw on Thursday night at the NM State Soccer Complex after a back-and-forth affair that feature two strong defenses.
NM State (2-2-1) and Incarnate Word (3-0-1) combined to place six shots on goal with all six being turned away by the defending goalie.
The night which was deemed a Purple Out began with a moment of silence to honor Thalia Chaverria, an Aggie defender who tragically passed away on July 10. The NM State defense channeled its inner Thalia and played tough defense throughout the 90-minute tilt, allowing the Cardinals to get off just seven goals – only two of which landed on frame.
