Las Vegas, New Mexico - The Cowgirls dropped a hard fought match to the Colorado School of Mines 3-0 on Friday afternoon. With the loss, the Cowgirls fall to 1-13-0 overall and 0-10-0 in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference play. The Orediggers, ranked seventh in this week's United Soccer Coaches Division II poll, improve to 11-2-2 overall and 8-1-1 in conference play.
The Orediggers took control early, scoring twice in a two-minute span — striking first 12:09 into the match before adding another goal just 1:57 later to put the game out of reach. They would add a third goal at the 28:37 mark of the first half.
NMHU generated several scoring opportunities as the first half wound down but couldn't find the back of the net.
The second half featured a combined six shots on goal, but neither team could find the back of the net as the Orediggers' first-half lead held firm.

The Orediggers held an 18-7 edge in shots and a 9-0 margin in corner kicks.
