Monogue Continued from page 1
cer prodigy. Alongside fellow Aggie freshman Meghan Streight, Monogue led McKinney Boyd to state championships in 2008 and 2011, capturing nearly every “AllEverything” award, and landing on the ESPN RISE Winter All-American team in 2011. The Aggies in Monogue’s family — father, Dan, class of 1980 and sister, Danielle, class of 2009 — may have had some influence in her decision to play soccer at A&M, but it was the premier facilities and gameday atmosphere at Ellis Field that lured Monogue to Aggieland. “The atmosphere of games is like nothing else,” Monogue said, as she described her first visit to Ellis Field. “Visiting other schools, everybody had the same to offer about facilities and everything else, but [at A&M] I think that the coaching and the team
and the atmosphere in general is off the charts.” Monogue admitted to having a slow start to the season, not finding the back of the net until her third game. But as the young team — which features 10 freshmen — began to connect on and off the field, they played more cohesively, which allowed individual players to excel. “I had a slow start, but [a lot of] it was coming into a new team,” Monogue said. “Once we beat North Carolina, which I think was a turning point for a lot our players, I became comfortable playing my style and how I like to play, really put into me playing better.” The Tarheels were No. 1 and undefeated when the Aggies came from behind for a thrilling 4-3 overtime victory. The Aggies have won eight out of 10 games, and Monogue has been an integral part of the potent A&M offense, scoring five of her 13 goals in the past three A&M matches — all victories. Monogue scored her first
collegiate hat trick against Fordham earlier this season. Head coach G Guerrieri said Monogue’s ability to bring the team around her and quickness around the goal makes her a dangerous player on the field. “She scored two [goals], and really almost scored two others that were just a hair wide,” Guerrieri said after A&M’s 2–0 blanking of Texas Tech, where Monogue scored the game’s only two goals. Monogue racked her third Big 12 Newcomer of the Week award in four weeks this past Monday, after the forward scored two goals in the Aggie’s 6–1 victory over Drake last Friday. “I like to get the ball at my feet and play with the people around me,
playing them in,” Monogue said. “I like to shoot, too. So if I get an open shot, then I’ll take a shot.” Monogue is geared up for a challenging conference weekend at home, as the Aggies will play Oklahoma Friday at Ellis Field and Oklahoma State on Sunday. “We obviously know what it takes to beat a team like [Oklahoma State],” Monogue said. “It’s a lot of hard work, so this week we’re just trying to get our bodies prepared and mentally prepare ourselves for this weekend, so that we can be at our best.” Though a conference and national standout, Monogue draws inspiration from her teammates and coaches. “The older girls pushing us makes
me want to be better,” Monogue said. “I think that we have really good chemistry and all get along very well, so I think that has put a stride in us to get better.” Monogue is an allied health major, with expectations of succeeding as a student athlete while helping the team reach national prominence, both in the Big 12 and in future seasons in the Southeastern Conference. “I want to make sure I keep up my grades and push to be as best as I can be,” Monogue said. “I think that I can really strive to be better than I am right now, and as a team, I think that as long as we gel and mesh throughout the years that is a really good thing to have.”
