THE RUNDOWN
WICHITA FALLS, Texas – After a scoreless contest for more than 65 minutes of action, senior
Scott Doney erupted for a pair of goals to lift sixth-ranked Midwestern State to a 2-0 victory over UC Colorado Springs Sunday afternoon at Stang Park.
Midwestern State (2-0-0) placed six shots on target before a Doney header from inside the six-yard box found the back of the net for a 1-0 MSU advantage at the 65:32 mark.
Doney's third goal of the young season sealed the win for the Mustangs with 1:41 to play in regulation with a header goal off a
Pierre Bocquet pass following a corner kick.

Richard Goss, who played the final 40 minutes for the Mustangs in goal, came away with one save and the victory, while
Taylor Lampe also helped in the shutout.
