Box Score DENVER - Anyssa Dagnino scored three times as New Mexico Highlands won 3-2 at No. 10 Metro State on Sunday afternoon. It was Metro State's first loss to NMHU at home since 1996 as the Roadrunners fell to 11-2-3 overall and 9-2-1 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. The Cowgirls improved to 8-5-3 and 6-5-1.

MSU Denver struck first as Marie Ipock (Los Lunas, N.M./Los Lunas H.S.)'s cross found Nicole Pollack (Englewood, Colo./Englewood H.S.) in front of the net following a corner kick at 8:26.

Dagnino scored her first goal on a header off a corner kick at 17:23 and she scored again less than five minutes later on a breakaway.

Ipock evened the score at 2-2 five minutes before halftime, finishing a cross from Carly Nelson (Wheat Ridge, Colo./Wheat Ridge H.S.) in front of the goal.

Dagnino provided the final goal of the game just 33 seconds into the second half, again scoring on a breakaway as the Roadrunners defense was unable to keep up.

Metro State had plenty of scoring opportunities despite the Cowgirls controlling possession for much of the game.

Pollack's header in the eighth minute was headed for the net before an NMHU defender stepped in front to clear the ball. Moments later, Abby Rolph (Golden, Colo./Golden H.S.) had rocket blocked at the goal line by a defender before Pollack finally scored the first goal of the game.

In the second half, Maggie Rojas (Minnetonka, Minn./Minnetonka H.S.) dribbled in front the left wing and had an excellent scoring chance inside the box, but could not finish as her wide open shot missed just right. Minutes later, Karisa Price (Gilbert, Ariz./Highland H.S.) was in for a breakaway, but took one too many touches before a defender broke up the play.

Karisa Fernandez (Westminster, Colo./Standley Lake H.S.) made four saves for the Roadrunners.

The Roadrunners will look to snap a two-game losing streak Wednesday at No. 4 Colorado Mines at 7 p.m.
