No. 4 Texas A&M Blanks Iowa State 2-0

COLLEGE STATION, Texas - The Texas A&M defense held Iowa State to just one shot in each half as the Aggies prevailed 2-0 in Big 12 soccer action Friday. Iowa State falls to 4-7-3 overall and 1-4-1 in the Big 12. The fourth-ranked Aggies (11-1-2, 4-0-2) extend their conference unbeaten streak to 23 games and and their home unbeaten streak to 24 games.

Texas A&M scored first in the 22nd minute on an unassisted goal by Laura Probst. The Aggies added another goal with seven minutes remaining in the half when Becky Olson scored off an assist from Kat Krambeer. Texas A&M had a 15-1 advantage in shots in the first half, with Kristina Baumann taking ISU's lone shot of the half. Iowa State goalkeeper Beth Chapman grabbed four saves in the first half.

The Aggies again had the offensive edge in the second half, outshooting Iowa State 11-1. Deb Benakis took the Cyclones' only second-half shot.
