Texas State prevails in final minutes against Louisiana for 1st win

Texas State got hot.

The score stood still for almost an hour in between halves as Texas State (1-4-1, 1-0-0 Sun Belt) controlled a 1-0 lead over the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns (2-0-2, 0-0-1) at Bobcat Soccer Complex. The visitors hung two goals on the maroon and gold in a three-minute stretch, putting the Bobcats in a tough position trailing late in the match. 

It looked as if the hosts would have to wait another week to put their first tally in the win column. But sophomore forward Kiara Gonzales shrugged off a defender outside of the goal line and strung a kick past the outstretched hands of the Ragin’ Cajuns goalie to tie the match at 2-2.
