ROLLA, MO. – Eastern New Mexico men's soccer made a sounding statement with a 4-0 shutout victory over Missouri S&T.

The Hounds and Miners stood at a 0-0 tie at the halftime break, but four Greyhound goals in the second half proved the difference in the game.

"We had a good week of training so we felt really good coming into today's match," said head men's soccer coach Brandon Misuraca. "S&T tested us quite a bit and we found a way to come out with a win."

Jaime Oliva got the party started for ENMU in the 49^th minute as he received a cross from left to right while he was sprinting towards the goal in the box. He took a shot that ricocheted off the MST goalkeeper and he drilled his second shot attempt into the back of the net.

Oliva returned the favor to Alexandre Meres in the 52^nd minute as the Calera y Chozas, Spain native found his teammate who was making his debut in the Green and Silver.

For a second straight week, Ben Sauerläunder scored for the Greyhounds. He was assisted by Meres in the 73^rd minute.

The final score of the night for ENMU came in the 89^th minute from the foot of Jo Martinetz as he went around the Missouri S&T goalie and secured his first goal as a Hound.

Paul Washkau got the start in the net for Eastern. He picked up a pair of saves, both coming in the second half.

Overall, the Greyhounds attempted eight shots on goal and four ended in goals.

The possession battle was crucial in ENMU's attempt at garnering their first victory of the season. Meres helped out the team by winning one-on-one battles and forcing poor passes from the Miners attack.

The lads continue their Missouri trip with a battle at Southwest Baptist University Monday afternoon at 2 p.m. The game can be viewed on the GLVC Sports Network.
