Nuclear structure effects are incorporated via an accurately calibrated relativistic mean-field model. The ratio of neutral- to charged-current cross sections is used to examine the sensitivity of this observable to $g_{A}^{s}$. For values of the incident neutrino energy in the range proposed by the FINeSSE collaboration and by adopting a value of $g_{A}^{s}=-0.19$, a 30% enhancement in the ratio is observed relative to the $g_{A}^{s}=0$ result.20 pages, 6 figures, Revtex, Submitted to Phys.
