Lady Mustangs fall to Rambelles, 2-1 KONNIE SEWELL STAFF REPORTER

Fort Lewis’ men’s soccer team may have suffered at the hands of the Mustangs last Friday night, but the MSU women’s soccer team was defeated by the Skyhawks 3-0. Fort Lewis’ Kate Mahler broke free after a downfield kick from goalkeeper Bree Baker and scored the first goal of the game during the 15th minute. This would be the only goal scored by either team during the first half. During the second half, the Skyhawks got a huge advantage from Nichole Kluk. She scored the second goal of the game just 2:12 into the half. The third and final goal of the game was scored by Lady Skyhawk Kim Sisneros. There were less than seven minutes left. Though Fort Lewis out shot MSU 22-11 and Baker got in five saves for Fort Lewis, MSU goal keeper Ashley Meek got five saves.

The Lady Mustangs played their next game Sunday afternoon against Mesa State. This time around, it was the Colorado school who ended up losing to MSU. The ﬁnal score was 2-1 in favor of the MSU women. The game winner was scored in the 63rd minute when junior Brittany Burney got a feed from freshman Katy Lukert for a one-on-one against the Mesa goalie, Kaitlyn Bennett. Burney blasted it past Bennett at the lower right corner to give MSU the lead. This was a mere four minutes after a defensive mistake allowed the match to be tied 1-1 — a free kick from Mesa’s Kira Brannan was misplayed by Amy Smith and got by MSU keeper Heather Primavera for an own goal. Freshman Erin Torres put a shot in during the 32nd minute. It was off a pass from Samantha Orer. Premavera recorded seven saves while facing 24 shots from Mesa. MSU recorded 27 shots against Bennett.

In related news, the win against Mesa was a major milestone for women’s soccer coach Jeff Trimble, who has been head coach since 1998. This was the 100th win of Trimble’s coaching career. His record is now 100-56-16. Then, the team picked up another win against the Texas Wesleyan Lady Rams at the MSU soccer field. The final score was 2-0. This was the team’s sixth win of the season. Sophomore Megan Bibilone picked up her third goal of the season on a pass from freshman Kari Bristow with only 31:02 left on clock during the first half. During the second half of the game, Lukert scored the final goal with 33:16 left to play. This was her second goal of the season. Primavera picked up her fifth shut out of the season during this game, saving two of the four shots she faced. The Mustangs then traveled to San Angelo Sunday for what was to be a key Lone Star Conference game

tournament. In the finals on Saturday, Emerson won the men’s number one singles by defeating Abilene Christian’s Juan Nunez, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2. The senior from Canberra, Australia, then teamed with Zach Dillard of Wichita Falls to beat Jordi Mullor and Nicolas Mascheroni of Cameron in number one doubles, 61, 4-6, 10-7. MSU sophomore Stefan McKinney of Camarillo, Calif. won number two singles with a 6-2, 1-6, 62, victory over Cameron’s Ignacio Murgier. However, MSU didn’t fare as well in three other finals. Agustin Criado of Cameron beat senior Charles van Swelm of The Hague, Netherlands, 6-4, 7-5, in number four singles. Cameron’s Tin Hinst defeated senior Ivan Camillo of Angers, France, 6-1, 6-3, in number five singles, and Abilene Christian’s Ryan Hudson and Kevin Beedy beat McKinney

and van Swelm in number two doubles, 6-4, 6-4 In the women’s draw, MSU’s number three doubles team of senior Cilia Muller of Middelburg, South Africa and freshman Janell Hetherington of Wichita Falls advanced to the finals of the flight by beating Cameron’s Sandra-Leigh King and Viviana Seca, 6-4, 6-4. But in the final, the duo fell to Meagan Brown and Sarah Drummond of Abilene Christian, 6-1, 62. MSU had one other player in the women’s draw, as freshman Collean Kinzer of Austin lost in the semifinals of the number four singles to eventual champion Emina Spirtovic of Northeastern State, 6-3, 6-2. The LSC Individual Championships determine the 2006-07 AllLone Star Conference teams, with the flight champions named firstteam and the other finalists earning second-team honors.

against the Angelo State Rambelles at 1 p.m. ASU won with an own-goal scored during the 40th minute, the Rambelles claiming a 2-1 victory over MSU. MSU got the ﬁrst goal of the game during the 19th minute with Lukert scoring. On this goal Bristow and Megan Hanlon got the assists. ASU, which is now 9-4-1, 2-2-1, tied the game with a goal in the 38th minute off a corner kick. Just two minutes later, Primavera back-heeled a loose ball that found the net for an own goal and gave ASU the lead. No goals were made by either side during the second half. ASU outshot MSU 13-12. Primavera recorded eight saves during this game, and allowed the two goals. The MSU women’s soccer team is now 6-6-1, 2-2-1.

Men’s soccer kicks butt KONNIE SEWELL STAFF REPORTER

For MSU men’s soccer team seniors Sun Potter, Brandon Swartzendruber and Daniel Woolard, their last home game was a winner. The three seniors combined for six goals and five assists Thursday against Texas Wesleyan University, with the Mustangs winning with an incredible 9-0. The trio of Potter, Swartzendruber and Woolard scored the first three goals of the night. Potter lead in points with eight, scoring on two goals and a team-high four assists. Swartzendruber followed with seven — on three goals and one assist. Scoring his first goal of the season, Woolard got it on a corner kick from Daniel Brown. But the seniors weren’t the only lucky ones that night. Junior Daniel Brown and freshmen Daniel Goss and Matt Nauman also scored.

Golf ﬁnishes third TIFFANY MERCER STAFF REPORTER

The Midwestern State University golf team ﬁnished third in the Texoma Match Play Championship at the Chickasaw Pointe Resort yesterday, despite defaulting their number one position. Jason Bender was injured during Monday’s second round, and could not play the following day, so it was up to Andrew Ludlow to come up big. And he did. Ludlow was paired with the withdrawn position in the four-ball competition and defeated the West Texas A& M number 1-2 teams of Thomas Maldonado and Spud Dillingham, one up to give MSU the win. He was also defeated Dillingham 2-and-1 in singles. Ludlow wasn’t the only mus-

tang making his shots count. Brady Jones and Gordon Quebodeaux, playing in the ﬁfth and sixth positions, also won their matches. Jones defeated Kent Neal 1 up and Quebodeaux downed Jonathan Shelley 4-and-3. The MSU team also beat Neal and Shelley 3-and-2 in the four-ball. WT’s Ray Holdeman beat Eric Thomson 2 up at number three and John Musser defeats MSU’s Hunter Linscombe 2 up in the other singles matches. Thompson and Linscombe also lost in the four-ball. “It was exciting,” said MSU golf coach Jeff Ray. “The match play was fun for the kids because they don’t normally play that way. It’s a different and exciting format and it wasn’t decided until the last hole.” Central Oklahoma won the tournament by defeating Abilene Christian.
