SAN ANTONIO, Texas- McNeese's Alexis Miller's game winning goal in the 22^nd minute of the second half lifted the Cowgirls to a 1-0 road win at Incarnate Word on Sunday afternoon.

"It wasn't pretty, but we won," said head soccer coach Drew Fitzgerald. "The team did a good job of gutting it out and I'll take six points on the road any weekend."

After a scoreless first half, Alexis Miller found the back of the net in the 67^th minute after she hit the ball first time at the top of the box beating the goalie for her second goal of the year.
