SAN MARCOS, Texas – The Texas State Bobcats get their first win in over a month, as well as their first conference win in the new PAC-12 after a close game 1-0 against the Colorado State Rams.

Texas State head coach Steve Holeman gave some insight on what this win means for this Program. “What an awesome feeling. We’ve been on a run where we haven’t gotten a win, so it felt great,”Holeman said.

“Along with that, it was a shutout win at home, in front of a fantastic crowd. We’re enjoying this one” The Bobcats and the Rams fought up and down the pitch all match, with both teams being dealt 2 yellow cards.

Despite Colorado State’s 17 shots with 11 on target, to Texas State’s 14 shots with 10 on target, the Rams were never able to break through in part due to Bobcat goalkeeper Caitlyn Draper’s 11 saves.

The highlight of the match offensively was Texas State’s Nina Norshie’s goal in the 24th minute. Nina was able to take advantage of the Rams defense getting turned around in their own penalty box, giving Norshie enough room to get a shot off.

The next game for the Bobcats will be another home contest where they will host the Gonzaga Bulldogs on Oct. 22nd at 7 pm.
