LAREDO, Texas – Texas A&M International women's soccer ended the 2022 season on a high note, upsetting #14 West Texas A&M 3-1 in the home finale.
 
The score through on half of play was 1-0 in favor of the Lady Buffs (12-2-4, 6-2-4 LSC) after a goal scored 17:50 into the half.
 
Out of halftime, a pivotal moment happened at the 47:05 mark, as West Texas A&M received a red card just 2:05 into the second half.
 
At 57:59, the Dustdevils (5-6-6, 2-4-6 LSC) capitalized to tie the game 1-1 on a goal by redshirt sophomore Andrea Castellanos.
 
13:30 later, junior Marta Forne scored her third goal of the season on an assist from Castellanos.
 
The duo would work together again at the 85:48 mark, when Forne scored her second of the game and fourth of the season off a corner set piece from Castellanos.
 
TAMIU was outshot in the game 14-10, but had more chances on goal, 7-5.
 
Castellanos had five shots to lead the team and her three shots on goal also led the team. Forne and junior Lucia Cuadra both had two shots, both on goal.
 
Junior Fabiana Solano was great in net, stopping four of the five shots she faced against the number two scoring offense in the conference.
 
The Dustdevils season ends falling just short of the Lone Star Conference Tournament, but there is a reason to be optimistic as all but one player is eligible to return on a team that had 12 points in the conference and defeated a top 15 opponent and nearly matched the naiton's number one team.
