In a game where each team dominated for periods, but neither team was dominating, the Metro
State women emerged with a 3-2 victory over the University of the Incarnate Word in the season

The season was barely six minutes old when Roadrunner midfielder Madison McQuillams found
forward Aleah DeGeneres with room in front of the UIW goal.
Forward Taylor Nicholls netted a brace as No. 10 Metro State shutout Southwest Baptist (Mo.)
2-0 on Monday in non-conference action at Auraria Field.
The Roadrunners improved to 2-0-0 this season with the win, while SBU dropped to 1-1-0. The
Bearcats were coming off a 1-0 victory over No.

The tie moved the Roadrunners to 5-0-1 overall and 1-0-1 in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference
play, while New Mexico Highlands University is now 3-2-1 and 1-0-1 in the RMAC.
