Albuquerque, N.M. - The Texas Tech women's soccer team got a much needed win this afternoon, downing the New Mexico Lobos 4-1 at the UNM Soccer Complex, in Albuquerque, N.M.
Tech (2-3) led 2-0 after Kerri Campbell scored an unassisted goal, her second goal of the season, with just under five minutes remaining in the first stanza. The lead would prove to be enough as the Lobos were unable to mount a comeback.
For New Mexico (0-4-1) the lone goal came early in the second half when Marte Dolva recorded her first goal of the year.
"We needed this win," stated Tech soccer coach Felix Oskam. This game, unlike the first four of the season, Tech went into halftime with a lead and, according to Oskam, "took care of our chances to score."
For the Red Raiders Senior Carrie Graham continued to shine as she added a pair of second half goals, sealing the victory for Tech. Senior Melanie Brosnahan also added her second goal of the season in the win.
Brosnahan got Tech on the board first as in the 36th minute she scored an unassisted goal, while Graham finished off the scoring as she recorded goals number three and four. Graham's first goal came unassisted in the 65th minute, while the second goal came in the 79th minute on an assist from Michaela Roberts, her first assist on the season.
Although the victory was a much need one, the Red Raiders have little time to celebrate as they still have two more road games this week. Tech will travel to Edmond, Okla. this weekend for a pair of non-conference matches. Friday night Tech will play Oral Roberts University and Sunday it will wrap up its week-long road swing with Tulsa.
