Freshmen Samantha Upton, Senna Garcia and Emma Baley have started all five contests for the Maroon and Gold
 
Underclassmen have scored four of the Mustangs' five goals this season and are responsible for all but three points.
 
Sensational Senna
Freshman Senna Garcia was named the Lone Star Conference Offensive Player of the Week after helping the Mustangs to a 1-0-1 record the first week of the season.
 
The Albuquerque native scored the first goal of the season in her first career collegiate game for the Mustangs in their win over New Mexico Highlands.
 
The stakes were raised on the freshman's second goal of the weekend. Trailing 2-1 to Fort Lewis, the Skyhawks were called for a handball in the box with 10 seconds to go. Garcia calmly picked up the ball and struck the equalizer into the upper corner of the net to force overtime.
 
Baley Dropping Dimes
Baley helped the Mustangs to a 1-0-1 record with assists on two of the Mustangs' four goals on opening weekend. The freshman has played all but eight minutes on the backline through the first five games and is currently second in the LSC with two assists.
 
In the season opener, the Wichita Falls native found fellow freshman Senna Garcia with a high cross from the right-side to stake MSU Texas to a 1-0 lead over New Mexico Highlands.
 
Baley picked up her second assist on a corner kick against Fort Lewis, picking up Avery Lewis on the set piece to grab a 1-0 lead.
