PORTALES, N.M. – The Eastern New Mexico University men's soccer team posted its second-straight victory, upending Southern Nazarene, 2-0, on Monday afternoon at Al Whitehead Field at Greyhound Stadium. The win moves the Greyhounds to 4-5-1 on the year before returning to Heartland Conference action on Thursday.
 
"I thought the guys played well," ENMU Head Coach Paul Tate said. "We need to capitalize more on our opportunities, but I'm glad to get the win. We just need to keep this winning streak going."
 
Redshirt junior James Gutierrez pitched his third shutout of the season making a pair of saves in the winning effort. Senior Ryan McManus fired 10 shots with six on goal and also picked up an assist. Freshman Robbie Leonard picked up three points in the win, scoring the first goal from 25 yards out and assisting on Luis Lozoya's goal in the 72^nd-minute.
 
Leonard decided to do some early spring cleaning for the Greyhounds on his first goal. In the 29^th-minute, McManus found the freshman with a cross pass before the freshman cleaned the spider webs out of the corner of the pipes for his first goal in the Green and Silver.
 
In the 72^nd-minute, Lozoya showed fancy footwork near the goal to fool the Crimson Storm's keeper from eight yards out to put the Greyhounds ahead 2-0 and put the game out of reach.
 
The Greyhounds return to the pitch on Thursday, Oct. 6, against Newman. Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m. at Al Whitehead Field at Greyhound Stadium in Portales. For the latest news, follow @ENMUAthletics on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram and visit goeasternathletics.com.
