PORTALES, N.M. – Four different Mustangs scored goals to lift No. 8 Midwestern State to a 4-0 blanking of Eastern New Mexico and continue its undefeated streak with a sixth-straight victory Saturday afternoon at Greyhound Stadium.
 
Midwestern State (6-0, 2-0 HC) scored four goals for the second time in the last three matches with redshirt sophomore Koby Sapon-Amoah providing the game winner in the 18th minute. Sapon-Amoah's third score of the season came off an assist from Sebastian Venegas, firing from 30 yards out on a breakaway to give MSU the early advantage. 
 
With less than 15 minutes remaining in the first half, senior Pierre Bocquet came through with his first goal of the season with a header from five yards out off an Alex Mullet corner kick for a 2-0 MSU lead at the break.
 
The Mustangs carried their offensive surge into the second half with freshman Carlos Flores netting his second goal of the season with a shot from 25 yards out less than 10 minutes into the period off a Bocquet assist.
 
In the 81st minute, Venegas capped off the scoring for MSU with his first goal of the year with a shot just outside the box.
 
Eastern New Mexico's (2-3-1, 1-1 HC) lone shot on target came in the ninth minute with Ignacio Dicun having his attempt stopped by senior Richard Goss.
