THE RUNDOWN
ODESSA, Texas – Sophomore Raven Powell provided her fourth game winner of the season while second half goals by Taylor Robinson, Sarah Stewart and Savannah Alford lifted No. 11 Midwestern State to a 4-0 rout of UT Permian Basin Friday evening at UTPB Turf Field.
 
Midwestern State (11-3-1, 6-2-1) struck early with Powell scoring her fourth goal of the season off an assist from Madison Davis less than 10 minutes into the contest for a 1-0 score.
 
The Mustangs erupted for a trio of goals less than 10 minutes apart early in the second half with Robinson pushing the MSU advantage to 2-0 off a Julia Orozco assist at the 50:15 mark. Stewart stretched the lead to 3-0 in the 57th minute before Alford capped off the scoring in the 61st minute for the 4-0 final.
 
MSU held UT Permian Basin (1-13-1, 1-9-0) to just two shots on goal for the night to match an opponent low as senior keeper Courtney Burnette and the Mustangs earned their ninth shutout of the season.
