Despite taking the lead early in the second period Utah State's womens soccer team could not pull off a win as it fell to Texas-El Paso, 2-1 Thursday night. Utah State is now 1-5 on the season and UTEP moves to 3-5 on the year.

USU and UTEP played evenly in the first period with both teams turning in five shots on goal. Neither team could convert its efforts as both teams remained scoreless at the half.

In the second period Utah State ended the scoreless game when sophomore Brigid Turner (Las Vegas) found the net with help from senior Ashley Cracroft (West Valley) two and a half minutes into the period. The Aggies wouldn't maintain the lead for long as UTEP scored on a penalty kick by Kelly Parker five minutes later at 52:44. The game appeared to be in danger of going into overtime until the Miners' Stephanie Merrell knocked in the game-winning goal off a pass from Kathryn Stevens at eh 89:14 mark.

Utah State will remain in El Paso, Texas, as it concludes its participation in the Miner Classic, taking on Youngstown State at noon Saturday.
