PORTALES, N.M. - Kendra Clemons ripped a shot over the head of Eastern New Mexico goalkeeper Sierra Cardenas in the 55th minute Friday to lift No. 22 Midwestern State to a 1-0 Lone Star Conference win at the ENMU Soccer Field.

The Mustangs, who improved to 10-1-2 on the season and 4-1 in conference, battle No. 13 West Texas A&M Sunday afternoon at The Pitch in Canyon. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.

"This is a tough place to play," MSU coach Jeff Trimble said. "They picked it up in the second half and put some pressure on us."

But it was sophomore forward Lindsay Pritchard's pressure on a throw-in on the MSU offensive half which led to a turnover in the 55th minute.

Pritchard served the ball ahead to Clemons, who beat a Zia defender near the top of the box and blasted in her first goal of the season to provide the difference in the match.

The Mustangs' defense led by senior Megan Hanlon and freshman Brittany Martinez limited the Eastern New Mexico attack to five total shots with just one of those falling on frame.

"Megan played her best game of the year. She attacked out the back and played defense very well," Trimble said. "Brittany made her first start and did a great job in the back for us."

Senior Ashley Meek and freshman Mallory Whitworth combined for the Mustangs' ninth shutout this season.

Eastern New Mexico slipped to 7-8 overall and to 2-4 in the LSC.
