Blue Devils Battle Texas A&M
Taylor DeFlorio Shines In CCSU Net With A Career-High Six Saves
The Central Connecticut State women's soccer team battled the visiting Texas A&M University Aggies on Thursday night allowing only a pair of goals to the high-powered visitors in a 2-0 non-conference loss.
The match remained scoreless until the 53rd minute when TAMU's Jazmine Wilkinson found the back of the net off assists from Margo Matula and goalkeeper Grace McClellan.
The Aggies would add an insurance tally in the 71st minute on a nifty passing play that saw Kennedy Clark score off assists from Alison Lowrey and Macy Matula.
