LAST TIME OUT | Eduardo Cerna scored the first goal of his collegiate career, and Gavin Scott scored a needed insurance goal as No. 18-ranked Midwestern State defeated UT Tyler, 2-1, Wednesday night at Citizens 1st Bank – Perkins Soccer Complex. Mere Escobar set up the first goal of the game in the 53rd minute as he weaved his way toward the top of the box on the left side and delivered a short pass to his right. Cerna turned from inside the penalty arc and placed his shot perfectly to the lower-left corner past Asier Vegas. The diving goalkeeper was unable to get a finger on the ball, and the Mustangs took a 1-0 lead. With time winding down Midwestern State took advantage of an opportunity to increase its lead. Max Gonzalez, who had just checked into the game with a little more than two minutes remaining, won the ball just inside the penalty box. The sophomore forward approached the goal and was pulled down by a Patriot at the top of the 6-yard box. As Gonzalez was going to the ground he managed to center a pass for Gavin Scott, who buried his chance into the middle of a wide-open goal. Sophomore goalkeeper Adam Braman made one save in his ninth start for the Mustangs and allowed just his sixth goal of the season.
