Aggie goals were also scored
by freshman midfielder Andrea
Starns, freshman midfielder Jessi
ca Martin and Thrasher.
This year’s top-10 recruiting
class showcased its talent as sev
eral freshmen contributed to the
victory.
In addition to the goals from
Starns and Martin, defender
Martha Moore played well, using
her speed to patrol the backfield.
Davidson said the newcomers
looked like experienced players in
their first collegiate game.
“I think they played excellent,”
Davidson said. “They are very
composed, very talented players
that step right into college ball, no
problem.”
Thrasher said walking away
from the first game of the season
with a victory was very important
for the team.
“Especially in conference, it’s
very important,” she said. “It’s a
good booster for us because it will
get us going.”
The Aggies carried the same at
titude into their second game
against Oklahoma Sunday after
noon.
A&M once again dominated its
opponent with 20 shots on goal
and held the Sooners to only
three.
Thrasher and Starns once
again found the back of the net,

Junior forward Nicky Thrasher controls the ball against Oklahoma State
University. Thrasher had two goals and an assist over the weekend.
Mitchell and junior midfielder Al
ison Peters each headed the ball
past the OU goalkeeper for goals.
Freshman forward Heather
Ragsdale joined the list of scorers
with a shot on an open net from
the middle of the field.
Starns said she is a little disap
pointed the team is not ranked
higher in the polls but feels that
two shutout victories in one
weekend will improve the Aggies’
ranking.
“Right now we’re not getting
the respect we need nationally,”
Starns said, “so we’re just out
here to make a statement now.”
Although scoring goals seems
to be the team’s strongest at
tribute, this year the Aggies have
switched their emphasis to the
importance of defending the goal.
“Every time that we keep a
shutout in a game, we’re going to
post a bagel up on our bagel
pole,” Davidson said. “It’s just a
reminder to us that defense is im
portant and that you win games
with a tough defense.”
After the birds and time do
away with the bagels, there will
be a nail in a wooden post repre
senting each time the Aggies shut
out, or “nailed”.
