HILLSBORO, Ore. – The first match of the season can never make or break a team, but getting off to a strong start can often serve as a launch pad to a successful year. Fortunately, for this year's Aggie squad, a goal from Loma McNeese in the final moments of the game turned a match that appeared to be headed to a draw into an Aggie victory.
NM State (1-0-0, 0-0-0 CUSA) earned a 2-1 win over Portland State (0-1-0, 0-0-0 Big Sky) inside Hillsboro Stadium on opening night of the collegiate season.
