WICHITA FALLS, Texas - Midwestern State's Craig Sutherland was a goal scoring machine last season while helping the Mustangs to a national quarterfinals.

Injuries sapped the sophomore forward throughout much of the first half the season as Sutherland had just one goal through is first eight games of 2009.

Apparently, the striker from Edinburgh, Scotland is feeling no ill effects late in the season as he scored two goals to help the 10th-ranked Mustangs to a 2-0 win over NAIA St. Thomas Friday night at the MSU Soccer Field.

"I'm feeling back to 100 percent," Sutherland said of his high ankle sprain. "I'm not having to wear a brace and going without tape on my ankles, so I feel I really can move now."

He has now accumulated points in six-straight matches which includes three tallies in his last two matches after dishing assists in four-straight games. Sutherland now has four goals and four assists this season after leading the South Central Region with 17 goals and five assists as a redshirt freshman in 2008.

"If Craig gets focused and blocks out officiating calls and bad passes and is a team player, he can be special," MSU coach Doug Elder said. "When's he's about to get his head straight and coming out concentrating on what he needs to do for us to win, he's awesome. He's definitely done that the last two games."

Sutherland scored on a through ball from Kyle Hyden in 8th minute, then converted a direct kick at the top of the 18-yard box in the 76th minute as he accounted for all of the Mustangs scoring against the Celts.

The win extended the Mustangs' unbeaten string to 20 matches at the MSU Soccer as they have posted a 17-0-3 mark since falling to West Texas A&M in the final game of the 2007 regular season.

The Mustangs dominated the match by outshooting St. Thomas 23-5 including a 12-0 edge in shots on goal.

Junior goalkeeper Raul Herrera notched his 11th shutout of the season.

Midwestern, which improved 12-1-3 on the season, battles Northeastern State Sunday afternoon in its regular season finale at the MSU Soccer Field. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.

St. Thomas fell to 6-5-2.
