Continuing the winning streak, the men’s soccer team pushes two shots through a powerful defense, as they prepare for tougher competition in the games to come.

Although the men’s soccer team won a shutout game on Oct. 7 with a score of 2-0, the team seemed to have been off, according to head coach Doug Elder.

“Some of our upperclassmen leaders probably could have taken over when they started to press us,” Elder said.

Despite bringing the team record to 11-0-1, the players said they could tell the team was playing differently.

“We played a little bit better on Thursday, but today we still got the win. We need to keep working and get better, it’s not enough to just get the win every time,” Pierre Bocquet, midfielder and business senior, said.

By the end of the game, MSU had attempted 20 shots with only two goals, a testimony to UTPB’s defense. Steve Pondeca, forward and finance redshirt sophomore, made several shot attempts but none could get past the UTPB goalkeeper.

Scott Doney, forward and psychology senior, said the players will continue to improve themselves for the next game.

“It’s good for us to continue our undefeated streak, but we didn’t play very well today. We have a lot to improve on. We just have to get back in training and keep working hard to keep up our momentum,” Doney said.

The men’s soccer team will return to Stangs Park on Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. against Oklahoma Christian University.
