WICHITA FALLS, Texas - Raul Herrera only made two saves Friday night at the MSU Soccer Field.

But that was enough to keep No. 19 West Texas A&M off of the scoreboard as the 12th-ranked Mustangs battled the Buffs to scoreless draw in the Lone Star Conference opener for both sides.

"He came up big when we needed him," MSU assistant coach Rob Cummings said. "He's living up to his reputation as a gamer."

Herrera, who has not allowed a goal in 451 minutes of field time, stoned West Texas A&M star forward Ben Everson on a one-on-one opportunity in the 64th minute on a sprawling save at the near post.

Herrera then made another brilliant save on Jose Chavez' serve from the top of the box after MSU junior center back Allen Thomson fouled Everson in the 89th minute.

The saves were enough to send the match scoreless into extra sessions.

Everson, who had four goals in five matches coming into the contest, was limited three shot while just placing the one shot on frame.

"He's a good player, but there wasn't anything too scary," Cummings said. "Good teams are going to have opportunities, but we were able to step up."

Sophomore Ryan Spence and Thomson gave the Mustangs a solid effort at the center back positions as the Buffs were limited to just 10 shots and just two on goal.

But the Mustangs had opportunities, as well.

Thomson started a nice combination off of a WT turnover in the 78th minute and worked the ball to Landon Fruge' on the right wing, who served a cross into Bryan Sajjadi who appeared to tangle with a defender with a look at an open net.

MSU continued to work into the first overtime when Kyle Kmiec took a turnover and worked toward the right wing but was tripped up by a sliding tackle while making a move near the touchline in the 95th minute.

Reid Schmidt and Kmiec were the lone Mustangs to put a shot on goal.

"We need to be more consistent with putting shots on frame and definitely need to work on that," Cummings said. "But I am very pleased we didn't give them very many opportunities in the run of play."

Midwestern moved to 5-1-1 on the season and extended its unbeaten stretch at the MSU Soccer Field to 14 games dating back to a 2-1 loss to West Texas A&M in the 2007 regular season finale, while the Buffs went to 4-1-1.

The Mustangs play host to Eastern New Mexico Sunday afternoon at the MSU Soccer Field. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.

The Greyhounds played St. Edward's to a scoreless draw in Austin on Friday night to go to 5-1-1.
