WICHITA FALLS, Texas -- Texas A&M International's Robin Verhoeven made five saves to make a single goal off of a counter stand for a 1-0 win over No. 18-ranked Midwestern State Saturday night at Stang Park.

The junior goalkeeper from Deurne, Netherlands completed his third consecutive clean sheet to give TAMIU its first men's soccer win over the Mustangs in 23 tries.

Midwestern State fell to 8-3-2 on the season and 2-3 in Lone Star Conference play after taking its first regular season loss at Stang Park since falling to St. Mary's in 2019.

The Mustangs controlled a 17-12 edge in shots and a 9-1 advantage in corner kick opportunities, but were unable to slide the ball through a packed defensive third.

MSU controlled possession for 64 percent of the match and produced several dangerous chances, but Verhoeven was up for the challenge.

Texas A&M International cashed in on a counterattack in the 77th minute when Nico Weigandt found space down the right attacking channel to loft a cross to the far post.

TAMIU senior Tajani Fairclough stretched for a one-timer for his second goal of the season.

Oddly, the Dustdevils celebrated by committing a yellow card offense when Martell Martinez ran in to shove MSU's Dereck Espinal from behind with his right forearm.
