THE RUNDOWN
WICHITA FALLS, Texas – A pair of late goals broke a 1-1 contest and lifted No. 24 Midwestern State to its sixth-straight win Friday night in a 3-1 victory over Texas Woman's at MSU Soccer Field.
 
Texas Woman's (5-4-0, 1-3-0 LSC) evened up the match in the 69th minute after the Mustangs had led for nearly 55 minutes of play with a strike from Blaine Cathey for a 1-1 score.
 
In the 80th minute, freshman forward Hanna Mattinson tallied her team-best fourth goal of the season, weaving in and around the TWU defense and firing from the middle of the box into the top left corner of the goal for a 2-1 advantage.
 
Junior forward Destinee Williamson added to the Midwestern State (6-1-2, 3-0-0 LSC) lead in the 87th minute with her free kick finding the back of the net for the 3-1 final.
 
Senior forward Nicole Coetzer gave the Mustangs a 1-0 lead in the 13th minute, collecting the rebound after a blocked shot and sending the ball just under the crossbar for the early advantage.

QUOTE OF THE GAME
"In every single one of the games we've won thus far, we've dealt with a difficult period of time where the other team was getting opportunities. We've scored in the last 15 minutes now six times in a row so I felt if they left us in it, we're just so athletic we can get it done. This is the third different system we've played in the last three games. When it comes down to it, they've been willing to do whatever the coaching staff has asked and they've just learned to be flexible and find ways to win." – Head coach Damian Clarke
