The No. 7 men’s soccer team dropped to 7-3 on season after consecutive losses against Eastern New Mexico and West Texas A&M University.

The Mustangs played Eastern New Mexico first on Friday afternoon at the ENMU soccer fields. It was the Greyhound’s first win over MSU in school history.

ENMU had more goal opportunities at the start but Goalkeeper Michael Wood felt it was too early to concede.

However, most of the Greyhound’s shots were directed out of target.

Midfielder Dean Lovegrove had the first attempt for MSU but the crowd watched the ball go high.

After 28 minutes of goal less struggle, ENMU made a difference with a header from Michael Stewart. The defender’s effort to score was wasted until Isaiah Turnam assisted him for the opener.

Then seven minutes after Stewart’s header, Junior Midfielder Fernando Garza presented MSU with an equalizer.

Garza retrieved a cleared ball then placed a shot to tally his second of the season.

ENMU tried to get the lead back before halftime but Wood was there to make a spectacular save that prevented Dreaux Plair’s header.

The second half kicked off with not as much action in the first half. Stewart’s attempt went wide while Goalkeeper Matt Malak denied MSU Chris Dwyer.

Then in the 59^th minute, ENMU Rodrigo Pontes sent a pass to Abayneh Crosby to regain the lead.

The latter was one-on-one with the goalkeeper and made no mistake.

The Mustangs did not let up but played even harder after Crosby had secured the lead.

Dwyer kept testing the keeper, hitting the woodwork twice in ten minutes. Zach Funk also placed a shot that was blocked as the Greyhounds played strictly to defend their lead.

The Mustangs played good offensively but ended up with a 2-1 defeat.

MSU then traveled to West Texas A&M for its second road game of the weekend.

Although MSU David Freeland and B.A. Catney put pressure on WTAMU first, the Buffs opened the scoring on Sunday afternoon.

WTAMU Colin Bjostad, who was unassisted, scored his first goal of the season in the 19^th minute.

In an attempt to notch an equalizer, Senior Midfielder Sam Broadbent took a 31^st minute shot but WTAMU Goalkeeper Sebastian Furness dealt with effort comfortably.

Wood, on the other hand, denied WTAMU Wayne Burton from doubling the already disappointing lead.

The senior shot stopper also marked another important save on Rodrigo Morino’s attempt in the second period.

But Morino was determined to tuck one in anyways as he scored his fifth goal of the season in the 65^th minute.

With a 2-0 disadvantage, MSU was unwavering and played hard for a comeback.

The 76^th minute came and so did Freeland’s goal that put the Mustangs back in the contest.

Freeland’s second goal of the season must have set up the momentum for MSU to get an equalizer.

Less than four minutes after, Dwyer made the comeback with a shot to the top right corner.

The Mustangs barely had time to celebrate the goal when WTAMU Lukas Garcia scored the winner to end the game at 3-2.

The Mustangs will host Northwestern State at the soccer fields this Friday at 7 p.m.
