Box Score LAS CRUCES, NM – New Mexico State tallied a pair of goals in each half to post a 4-1 win over Jacksonville State on Saturday evening at the NM State Soccer Complex.

The Conference USA tilt was marred with weather delays as the match was pushed back over an hour due to lightning in the area. Weather forced a second lengthy delay in the contest with just under 10 minutes left in the opening half.

The delay did not affect the Aggies start as they put the first goal of the outing on the scoreboard win the 11th minute. Loma McNeese recorded the first of two goals on the night before the weather halted the contest. NM State added a second goal right before a shortened halftime with a goal by Milana Eyrich in the 41st minute.

After the intermission, NM State quickly added the third goal off the foot of Brooke Shultz in the 46th minute. The Aggies capped off the scoring for the night moments later with McNeese's second goal of the night in the 50th minute.

The two clubs combined for 22 shots on the night with NM State holding a 12-10 edge in shots.

Junior Nancy Almanza paced the Gamecocks in the setback with a pair of shots and registered a goal late in the contest. Almanza posted her sixth goal of the season in the 87th minute to break up the shutout. Graduate Melissa Kuya Strobel and junior Allison Sibley also had two shots.

Jax State returns to action next Saturday to wrap up the 2024 home slate at the Jax State Soccer Complex. The Gamecocks will face the Owls of Kennesaw State. Match time is set for 7 p.m. Admission is free to all home matches. The program will honor the senior class prior to the match.
