Texas State Edges Texas A&M in Thrilling 3-2 Soccer Upset

A late defensive lapse allows Victoria Meza to score the winner, ending the Aggies' unbeaten streak

The Turning Point

Texas State finally broke a four‑match winless streak against Texas A&M, securing a 3‑2 victory that left the Aggies' early‑season dominance in tatters.

Trinity Buchanan opened the scoring within 40 seconds, the fifth‑quickest goal in program history, and Ireland Churchill later restored the lead in the 55th minute with a corner‑kick strike.

The lead slipped away in the final 12 minutes when a dropped ball by freshman keeper Makenna August fell to Victoria Meza, who walked in and slotted the decisive goal in the 87th minute.

A Missed Opportunity

Despite out‑shooting the Bobcats 17‑11, Texas A&M managed only five shots on target, while Texas State recorded eight on goal, a disparity that proved costly.

The Aggies will next travel to Ellis Field to face Sam Houston on Saturday at 8 p.m., hoping to rebound from the setback.
