Rams Extend Win Streak in Texas
8/29/2024 9:48:00 PM | Women's Soccer
Freshman Kaja Dionne's first career goal earns the win
SAN MARCOS, Texas – Kaja Dionne turned on the jets and sliced through the Texas State defenders on her way to her first career goal and the game-winner Thursday night helping the Rams earn a 2-1 victory over the Bobcats. The win extends CSU win streak to three games.
Â
Colorado State and Texas State traded penalty kicks 20 minutes into the game to be tied at 1. The Bobcats struck first with a PK in the 17th minute and just three minutes later Maggie Altman converted her second PK of the year to even the score.
Â
The Rams continued to push the pace in the first half when Kaja Dionne sliced and diced her way through the Bobcat defense like a chef in the kitchen of a Texas BBQ joint. She sneaked the ball low and to the left of Texas State's goalkeeper to put CSU up 2-1.
Â
Colorado State took that lead into the break and Shayna Ross became a stone wall in the second half. The California native finished the night with six saves. Four of them coming in the second half.
Â
Game Notes
- Maggie Altman scored her third goal of the year and second on a penalty kick. She leads CSU in points (6) and goals.
- Kaja Dionne is the fifth different Ram to score this season.
- Shayna Ross's six saves almost doubled her total for the season. She came into the night with seven on the year.
- Thursday was the first time this season that CSU has been outshot by its opponent. The Bobcats record 15 to the Rams' 12.
Â
What's Ahead
Colorado State looks to complete the Texas two-step on Sunday against UTSA. The Rams and Roadrunners first kick is set for noon MT.
Â
CSU's soccer team will make a pit stop in Austin on Saturday to cheer on the football team in their season opener.
