RUSTON, La. – The Aggies magical season has come to an end after a true heavyweight title bout between a pair of programs amid their inaugural Conference USA seasons. After 90 extremely hard-fought minutes, NM State suffered its first defeat at the hands of a CUSA opponent this season as Liberty scored the game-winning goal in the 86th minute of the CUSA Championship game.
The Aggies fell behind early, however, fought back to pull even before the two teams headed into the break. In the second half, the potent Liberty offensive attack continued to pressure the back line of the Aggies' defense which came up big time and time again.
