COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- The Texas A&M Aggies recorded their second consecutive shutout in a 1-0 win over the Little Rock Trojans at Ellis Field Friday evening.Emily Bates got a Trojan horse past the gates in the 49th minute for the lone goal. The mercurial sophomore controlled possession to the right of the penalty box after a defender knocked the ball away from Jordan Hill. Bates dribbled across the top of the box before sending a left-footed rocket from just right of the arc. Little Rock goalkeeper Sara Small had no chance to make a save on the bender that found the left upper 90 for Bates first goal of the season.Playing without the services of center backs Ashlynn Harryman and McKayla Paulson and defensive midfielder Stephanie Malherbe, the Maroon and White kept a clean sheet, allowing just one shot-on-goal in the match. A defensive corps that included Grace Wright, Kendall Ritchie, Margaret Schmidt, Grace Piper, Callyn Walton, Grace Cory and Kate Hajdu throughout the night, allowed just six shots on the evening to help goalkeeper Danielle Rice record the shutout.Rice earned her second shutout of the season and the fifth of her career. Rice made the big play when it counted. In the 53rd minute, Little Rocks Caitlyn Eddy unleashed a missile from 20 yards. Her shot was heading just south of the crossbar, but Rice was able to make a leaping punch to knock the ball off the crossbar and to the safety of a clear six-yard box.Haley Pounds made Small work to keep the score at 1-0. In the 55th minute she pounded a free kick from 25 yards that found its way through the wall and caused Small to hit the deck for the save. In the 60th minute, Pounds hit a left footer from near the location of Bates goal, but the Trojans keeper was able to get her mitts on the ball that bent to the center of the goal.Texas A&M (3-2-0) owned advantages in shots (13-6) and shots-on-goal (6-2), but the pesky Trojans managed a 5-1 edge in corner kicks.The first half was a defensive struggle, with the teams combining for five shots. The Aggies held the edge in shots (4-1) with Bates getting the only shot-on-goal with a header in the 24th minute.The contest got chippy in the second half with Little Rock (3-3-0) drawing nine fouls and two yellow cards while Texas A&M did not incur a whistle in the second stanza.The Aggies return to action Sunday when they host the Illinois Fighting Illini in a 6 pm contest at Ellis Field.TEXAS A&M QUOTESHead Coach G Guerrieri On the message at half time and the adjustments going into the second half... Effort - plain and simple. If you want a great example of effort, look at Emily Bates. Emily won the game for us. She played like Emily Bates can. In the first half, we were kind of on cruise control. Little Rock came in with a good game plan. They were organized and they were tough. It took a world class goal to score and thats what Emily did for us.On the defense and the shutout... I think anytime you build up 180 minutes of scoreless ball it is a good sign. We are going to have to come out and play really well on Sunday because Illinois is a much different team than we played tonight. They are going to bring a lot of challenges and ask a lot of questions of us. We better be ready to bring the same energy that we had in the second half to the whole game on Sunday.Sophomore forward Emily Bates On her thoughts when she got chance for shot on goal... The first half was pretty frustrating for us offensively, so I just wanted to get anything on frame that would make the goalkeeper do some work.On halftime adjustments and what coaches told the team... The message was to bring the energy. We were slow and lackadaisical in the first half. We pushed another person forward because they were putting so many defenders behind the ball. I think that really helped us offensively. Jason Verrett Super Bowl Jersey . Sgt.
