\u201cAshford is being pushed to the edge by this unknown team from Texas\u2026The Eagles have come to Lawrenceville and impressed everyone!\u201d In its first post-season eligible year, Texas A&M University-Texarkana woman\u2019s soccer team advanced all the way to the semi-final round in the A.I.I. Conference tournament. The Eagles season came to an end after a hard-fought match against the #1 seed Ashford University (3-2).<\/p>\n

Ashford University took total control of the game by scoring 2 goals within the first 18 minutes but the Eagles kept on fighting back and Michelle Lee (FR) found the back of the net minutes later. Lee\u2019s goal would make the game 2-1 going into halftime.<\/p>\n

In the 56th minute, Michelle Lee would provide Samantha Sharpnack-Isom (SO) a great through ball and Sharpnack-Isom took care of the rest by drilling it into the back of the net tying the game up. Unfortunately for the Eagles, Ashford University caught a break in the 82nd minute and took the lead 3-2.<\/p>\n

The goal in the 82nd minute seemed to be just enough to hold off the relentless pursuit from the Eagles. The Eagles finished the season 10-6-1.<\/p>\n

The Eagles made the 1st post-season appearance in school history and recorded their first post-season win.<\/p>\n

“This season has definitely been one for the books. We created something special last year and continued to make history for our university this year. Making it to the semi-finals of the A.I.I. Conference tournament was something we definitely earned. We came to Lawrenceville and made a statement as a team. It may be the end for the seniors, but it is not the end for this amazing team. I am sad my soccer career is over, but I would not change a thing about what we accomplished as a team within the last couple of years. This program is going to continue making history and I am proud to say I was an Eagle. Dal\u00e9 Eagle!!” Leslie Arietta (SR).<\/p>\n

Congratulations to the TAMUT Eagles Woman\u2019s Soccer team on a great season!<\/p>\n
