Aggies Host 'Lopes for Regular Season Finale

| By:
LAS CRUCES, N.M. - The NM State women's soccer team will conclude its regular season at home with a match against Grand Canyon. The match is set to kickoff at 2 p.m. at the NM State Soccer Athletic Complex and will be streamed live on the WAC Digital Network. A limited number of tickets will be available at the gate beginning at 1 p.m.

Go 4 The Goal
The two teams will be wearing yellow laces during Friday's game in support of pediatric cancer. Lace Up 4 Pediatric Cancer began in the fall of 2011. Since then, professional, college and youth teams have participated in raising funds and awareness for the #1 disease killer of children. To date, over a half million athletes have supported our cause. $4 from every $5 pair of laces and 100% of all donations directly benefit kids and families in the state where the funds are raised.

WAC Tournament
The Aggies have locked a spot in the WAC Tournament next week at GCU Stadium in Phoenix, Ariz. This is the first time the Aggies have qualified since 2017. The Aggies have locked up the fifth seed in the tournament and will either play UTRGV or Grand Canyon on Tuesday.

Scouting the Antelopes
Grand Canyon caught fire and has won five out of its last seven matches. The Antelopes are currently 6-8-2 on the year and 6-4-1 in the WAC. Jaycee Iranshad leads the way with a team-high seven goals and 27 shots on goal on the year. The Antelopes spread the wealth among all of its players, as 10 players have scored a goal for them this season. In the net, Hayden Wallace and Jordan Ferguson have split nearly equal time in the season with Ferguson totaling 51 more minutes than Wallace. Ferguson leads the way with a 0.77 goals allowed average, Wallace leads the team with 48 saves.

Jocelyn Tallent-Burleson picked up her first goal as an Aggie, and Xitlaly Hernandez knocked in her team-high sixth goal of the year.
