PORTALES, N.M. — A late surge staked the Eastern New Mexico University women's soccer team (3-10-1; LSC 2-7) to a 6-4 edge in second-half shots in Friday night's Lone Star Conference matchup. Texas Woman's University (8-6-1; LSC 4-5) managed to overcome the late Greyhound rally and held on for a 1-0 win at Al Whitehead Field at Greyhound Stadium.
