SAN MARCOS, Texas – A first half goal proved to not be enough Sunday afternoon as the Texas State soccer team fell to the UTEP Miners by a score of 2-1. With the defeat, the Bobcats fall to 1-2-0 in the young season.


 
Texas State got on the board right away in the third minute with a goal by senior Lynsey Curry. Curry received a cross pass from Lauren Prater to knock it in on the left side. Her goal marked her second goal this season.


 
Play continued with the Bobcats on top until the 37^th minute when the Miners equalized the game on a goal by Aleah Davis. Davis' goal was shot from the right corner and sailed over the head of Bobcat goalie Caitlynn Rinehart into the back left corner of the net.
 After going into intermission tied at one apiece, the Miners tacked on their second goal of the contest in the 78^th minute on a one touch after a throw-in by Davis. A red card in the 84^th minute by Davis would put the Miners down a man, but the Texas State offense struggled to put together set pieces to tie the game up at two.
 
Curry led all Bobcats with six shots, two of which were on goal. Rinehart recorded two saves in the loss and the shots were equal at 12 apiece.
 
Texas State will now hit the road for a single game against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Friday evening. Kick-off against the Islanders is set for 7 p.m. For more information on the Texas State soccer team, follow along on Facebook (Texas State Soccer), Twitter (@TxStateSoccer), and online at www.txstatebobcats.com.
