Dawgs Bag Two In First Half, Hand New Mexico State First Loss
September 01, 2024 | Women's Soccer
SEATTLE โ Washington took the lead eight minutes into Sunday's matchup with New Mexico State and never looked back, handing the Aggies their first loss of the season.
ย
Samiah Shell got the Dawgs on the board early, scoring for the second match running, while Ioanna Papatheodorou also bagged her second of the season to lead the Huskies to victory at Husky Soccer Stadium.
ย
The Huskies came right at the Aggies as soon as the whistle sounded and jumped ahead less than eight minutes in as Kelsey Branson's rebound was pounced on by Shell, firing the ball into the vacant goal.
About eight minutes later, the Dawgs had their second as Tatum Thomason slipped a ball forward to Papatheodorou, who slipped her shot past the charging keeper and hit the side netting.
The Huskies pushed for a 3rd throughout the second half, coming closest in the 80th minute when Branson's strike from distance struck the crossbar.
ย
Just over a minute later, the Aggies had their best opportunity of the match to get on the board with a 1-on-1 opportunity on goal. Instead, Mia Hamant came through with back-to-back saves to thwart the attach. In all, Hamant made a career-high six saves.
With less than 10 minutes to play, the Huskies salted away the rest of the match, remaining undefeated on home soil in 2024.
ย
The Huskies return to the road for a single match next week, heading to SoCal to face Long Beach State on Thursday at 7 p.m. PT. The match will be available for streaming through ESPN+.
