The Miners (7-8-2, 2-5-1 C-USA) were effective in their game plan execution as they suffocated the Charlotte 49ers (8-7, 4-4 C-USA) in route to a 1-0 win Thursday night at University Field.
UTEPs’ offense came out swinging and did not look back in the first half.
Freshman Jojo Ngongo scored at the 17th-minute mark on a fast play that developed along the right flank. The freshman forward had a great first touch, which allowed her to turn and toe-poke the ball through the Charlotte keeperu02bcs legs after outmuscling a defender with her physicality.
The rest of the first half was a midfield grudge match.
