A&M Soccer Team ends regular season
with 7-0 win over University of Housto

The Texas A&M Soccer Team wrapped up
a successful regular season with a 7-0 vic
tory over the University of Houston Sunday
afternoon at the Aggie Soccer Complex in
front of a crowd of 1,826.
The Aggies end the regular season 15-4,
with a conference record of 7-3.
The Aggies came out firing in their dom
inating victory over the Cougars, with
freshman forward Heather Ragsdale offer
ing up a Halloween hat trick in the game,
scoring three goals against the Cougars.
It was her first hat trick as an Aggie, and
A&M’s second this season.
“It feels good, being my first hat trick
here,” Ragsdale said. “It just feels good to
finally put together an all-around good
game.”
Ragsdale started the scoring for the Ag
gies early in the game when she received a
pass from sophomore midfielder Amber
Childers and one-touched the ball with her
left foot past UH’s diving goalkeeper and
into the back of the net.
Later in the the first half, Ragsdale stood
ready as the Houston goalie deflected a
header directly to the Aggie’s right foot.
Ragsdale proceeded to shoot the ball past
the keeper into the net.
A&M soccer coach G. Guerrieri said the
Aggies entered the game with a specific goal
in mind, and he was pleased with his team’s
performance.
“We wanted to make a statement to our
selves today that we could come out and
play well from the opening whistle to the
last whistle,” he said. “I think that we ac
complished that.”
Guerrieri said the reason the Aggies were
successful against Houston was the strong
play of the midfielders.
“That’s always been the key to our suc
cess — how well the midfield defends,” he
said. “And they did good.”
The midfield looked impressive against
Houston by not giving the Cougars many
scoring opportunities.
The Aggies allowed Houston only four
shots the entire game, three of which were
in the first half.

On the other end, the Aggies had 35
shots, 19 of which came from midfielders.
Junior midfielder Alison Peters managed
to score two goals by being in the right place
at the right time.
Early in the first half, Peters found her
self in the middle of the goal box when a
shot deflected off the goalie and landed at
her feet, which left her an easy shot for a
goal.
With 58 seconds left in the game, Peters
took a Ragsdale shot and was able to nudge
it across the goal line into the net.
“[Michelle Remington] and [Ragsdale] had
some awesome play up front, and Rags shot it
far post, and I was there to kick it in,” Peters said.
