Rams put 11 shots on goal and Huber stops nine in Pac-12 play
SAN MARCOS, Texas -- Colorado State did almost everything a road team needs to do Friday night. It outshot Texas State, put 11 shots on goal and made the Bobcats' goalkeeper work from the second minute to the 88th.
Caitlyn Draper simply would not be beaten. The Texas State keeper finished with 11 saves, four of them inside a single minute early in the second half, and Nina Norshie's 25th-minute goal held up for a 1-0 Bobcats win in Pac-12 play.
The Rams set the tone early. Ava Wallhead tested Draper in the second minute, and CSU took eight of the first half's 12 shots. Kaja Dionne put two of them on frame, and Shadia Valenzuela forced another save off the bench in the 38th minute.
Texas State's best spell came in between. Addison Huber turned away Lilah Dupree, Jenny Ngankem and Matsuri Tsutsui in a four-minute stretch from the 12th to the 15th minute. Ten minutes later, Norshie, a defender, found the net unassisted for her sixth goal of the season.
Then came the 49th minute. Bridget Arnold's shot forced a save, a Texas State foul sent Avery Boulom to the penalty spot, and Draper stopped her. A week after Boulom converted from the spot in San Diego, the rebound chances fell to Danielle Charleston and Skylar Alonso. Draper denied both. Four shots, four saves, one minute.
The Rams kept coming. Breckyn Ferrell forced a save in the 57th, Alonso added another in the 82nd, and Mia Casey's shot off the bench in the 88th was the 11th Draper turned away.
Huber held her end, too. Texas State outshot CSU 10-9 after halftime, and the sophomore made six second-half saves, including stops on Dupree and Constance Agyemang in the 84th minute and on Agyemang again in the 88th. She finished with nine, matching her total against Utah State on Oct. 4.
Youth carried real minutes once again. Three freshmen started for the Rams: Ferrell played 73 minutes and took two shots, Poppy O'Brien logged 57, and Wallhead added two shots in 56. Kennedy Albertson gave CSU 31 minutes off the bench. Alonso and Dionne led the team with three shots apiece, two on goal each.
