The Texas A&M Soccer Team
proved there is no place like home
over the weekend by defeating
both of its opponents in the GTE
Soccer Classic at
the Aggie Soccer
Complex.
The Aggies
beat the U.S.
Naval Academy
Friday night by a
score of 6-0, and
then went on to
outscore Ohio
State Sunday af
ternoon, 2-1. The two victories
gave the Aggies the tournament
championship.
Junior midfielder Alison Peters
was a major contributor for the
Aggies this weekend as she scored
two goals in each of the games.
Peters scored the first two goals in
A&M’s game against Navy.
Peters’ biggest contribution,
however, came in Sunday’s game
against Ohio State. A&M was
down 1-0 in the second half when
sophomore forward Michelle
Remington passed the ball to a
wide open Peters, who proceeded
to shoot the ball across the front
of the goal and into the top-left
corner of the net.
Peters said she was excited
about the goal and was thankful
that her teammate was able to
make a good pass across the field.
“Our team is so good about
working the ball around,” she
said. “We’ve been working all sea
son on finding the back post, the
backside player. On the first one
especially, that was [Michelle],
she gave me a great ball.”
The goal tied the game and
seemed to spark the Aggies. A&M
instantly became more aggressive
and more vocal as it increased the
pressure on the Buckeyes.
With 1:52 left on the clock, the
ball managed to work its way

Freshman Heather Ragsdale dribbles the ball through the Naval Academy’s defense Friday night at the Aggie
Soccer Complex. The Ags defeated Navy and Ohio State University to capture the 6TE Soccer Classic title.
through a jumble of players direct
ly in front of the Ohio State goal
and find the foot of Peters, who
then put it in the back of the net.
A&M soccer coach G. Guerrieri
said he was impressed with Pe
ters’ play this weekend.
“She had a big weekend,” he
said. “She scored four goals.
That’s two goals on Friday night
and two goals [Sunday], So I
would say that this was no doubt,
as far as a college student, one of
her better weekends.”
Also looking good this week
end was the Aggie defense.
In Friday’s game, A&M limited
Navy to only one shot on goal.
On Sunday, the defense stepped
up and held a talented Ohio State
team to one goal.
Guerrieri said he was happy to
see his defense respond to a chal
lenging offense.
“I was real proud of them,” he
said. “For the defense to come
through this weekend wit[i such
a good record, I think will help
our confidence. ”
Junior defender Amber Reynolds
said it is difficult for other teams to
score on the Aggie defense.
“We’re just stepping up, play
ing more aggressive, trying to win
all the balls we can,” she said.
“The only time they can get in be
hind us is if they get it over our
heads. We’re small, so naturally,
we’re fast.”
Peters and senior defender
Ashley Fendley were named of
fensive and defensive MVPs of
the tournament, respectively.
