In the 57th minute, Aggie senior Juli Goin shot a 40-yard loft from the left flank that bent just inside the upper right comer of the goal. “I had a few seconds to actual ly think about it,” said Goin. “I was a little hesitant whether to cross or just rip a shot. I just thought why not go for it? We’re already up 3-0.” Other goals were scored by sophomore Christina Echavarry in the 82nd minute and sopho more Shannon Labhart in the 89th minute. Labhart scored from just inside mid-field line with 18 seconds left in the game. The Aggie defense received a boost this weekend as senior Jessica Martin returned to the lineup. In her first weekend back, Martin earned tournament defen sive MVP honors. “It was so great (coming back),” said Martin.
