ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — UC Davis (4-8-2, 2-3-0 MW) scored in the 23rd minute on Lisette Gregoris' first goal of the season and then held a 1-0 lead until New Mexico (6-4-2, 3-2-0 MW) scored twice in the final 10 minutes to steal a victory over the Aggies in a Mountain West match on Sunday at the UNM Soccer Complex.
The Lobos scored the game-winner in the 90th minute when Presley Devey converted a penalty kick at the 89:31 mark after being fouled in the penalty box. New Mexico had scored the equalizer eight minutes earlier when Sherry Diep headed in Celina Frenz' cross at 80:31. Devey was credited with an assist along with Frenz on Diep's goal.
Kiley Fehrenbacher was credited with her first assist of the season on Gregoris' goal after putting the ball in front of the net near both Gregoris and Kaya Herndon on the play.
Cat Pieper recorded four of her five saves between Gregoris' go-ahead goal and Diep's equalizer, including a leaping tap away of Kylee Mackey's shot near the top crossbar in the 60th minute.
New Mexico outshot the Aggies, 20-7, but the shots on goal were close with the Lobos holding a slim 7-5 advantage. New Mexico goalkeeper Alyson Campbell saved four of the Aggies' five shots on goal, including a point-blank range attempt from Ashley Brewer in the 51st minute.
