Duke and North Carolina – 10 miles

Scouting the Miners
UTEP holds a 9-1 advantage all time over the Aggies, with the two teams meeting each year. Last season in El Paso, UTEP took down NM State 4-1. The Miners currently hold a 3-1-2 record and are coming off back-to-back wins over Texas State and Southern Utah.
 
Senior midfielder Danielle Carreon paces the Miners' attack as she leads the squad in points (5) and goals (2). Defender Lauren Crenshaw (2g), who led UTEP in goals (7) and points (15) a season ago, and Tessa Carlin (4a) have each added four points for the Miners.
 
Emily Parrot, a freshman, has started five matches in goal while appearing in all six. She has made 18 saves to along with a 1.06 goals-against average.
 
Last Time Out
The Aggies hosted preseason Sun Belt favorite Texas State at the Soccer Athletic Complex on Sunday, Sept. 8. The two teams went back and forth for the majority of the first half before the Bobcats took a 1-0 lead on a header from Haley Groff in the 40^th minute.
 
However, as it has done all year, NM State came out of the half firing. Eliudth Gonzalez played a crossed to Xitlaly Hernandez who found Shea O'Connor in the 6-yard box. O'Connor then finished her second goal of the season to tie the game at 1-1 in the 46^th minute.
 
The Aggies then forced saves in the 81^st, 82^nd and 90^th minutes but could not find a winner and the two teams went into overtime. Gonzalez and O'Connor both had chances to win it in overtime but their shots were saved and the two sides ended in a 1-1 draw.
