Cowgirls Defeat Cougars in RMAC Opener 1-0

#20 Janelle McGee
The NMHU Cowgirls got back to their winning ways on 9/16 with a 1-0 victory over the Cougars of Colorado Christian University in Lakewood, Colo. The Cowgirls would score their lone goal early as Janelle McGee would shoot a ball past the CCU goal keeper in the twelfth minute of play off a Bianca Brambila pass. That would be McGee's second goal of the season. With the win, the Cowgirls even their season record at 2-2 on the year and start off Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference play at 1-0 with their win over Colorado Christian.

Again, the Cowgirls defense would be the story of the day as they held the Cougars to seven shots on day, with only three of those shots being on goal. CCU would struggle with the tenacious Cowgirl defenders as Jensen Keith and company would keep the Cougars at bay. Shannon Delarosbil would play her first complete game of the season in the net for the Cowgirls and would finish the day with three saves in her 90 minutes played.

The Cowgirls would finish the day with 17 shots, with eight of them being on frame. Julissa Rodriguez would lead all players in shots with six shots on the day, three being on goal. Marci Johnson and Janelle McGee would follow with three shots apiece. Johnson would have two shots on goal. McGee would finish with one shot on goal as well as the Cowgirls game winning goal.

The Cowgirls will continue their Denver area road swing as they take on #11 Metro State College at 12:00 p.m. on 9/18. You can catch your Cowgirls in action when they take on the Roadrunners of Metro State through their Live Stats. Click HERE to access the Metro State Live Stats.
