LAS CRUCES, N.M. – The New Mexico State women's soccer team added Oregon State transfer Shea O'Connor for the 2019 season, head coach Rob Baarts announced on Thursday. O'Connor is set to compete as a junior this season.
 
"We are very excited to add Shea O'Connor to our 2019 roster from Oregon State.  Shea will bring a tremendous hold up game for our forward line," Baarts said. "We are adding a lot of pace in our flank play, which will fit Shea's ability as a central forward to be a fantastic outlet for our midfield and back line.  She loves to score goals and will be a force to be dealt with!  Can't wait to see what her next two years look like."
