LAST MEETING | Trevor Amann scored a hat trick and Midwestern State clinched the Lone Star Conference regular season title with a 5-1 victory over the Falcons at Stang Park last season.

LAST TIME OUT | Midwestern State senior Brandon Martinez-Trelles scored a goal and assisted on another to lift the Mustangs to a 2-1 win over Dallas Baptist Saturday night at Stang Park. The win snapped a two-game slide for MSU. Martinez-Trelles opened scoring in the 11th minute finishing off of an opportunity created by Adam Robinson, who worked the ball deep into the attacking third then received the ball back off of a passes from Mere Escobar and Conner Lewis. Robinson then sent a cross through middle of the box that glanced off of Omar Boutari's right boot and rolled back to toward the penalty spot. There, Martinez-Trelles smoked a ball to the left corner of the net for his third goal of the season. The Mustangs owned the better share of possession time throughout the first 75 minutes of the match, and finally opened the lead further midway through the second half. Once again, Martinez-Trelles played a major role when he served a ball off of a free kick from 30 yards out on the far post. This time, junior defender Tristian Adams finished off the cross with a clean header to the opposite corner of the goal to give the Mustangs a two-goal advantage in the 70th minute. Dallas Baptist cut the lead in half when Gavyn Rosales ran on to a loose ball in the 6-yard box in the 86th minute in an opportunity resulting off of a free kick from 30 yards out. But the Mustangs managed to maintain a good share of possession in the closing minutes to come away with the victory.
