PORTALES — Junior forward Shana Brown compiled a hat trick in the first half as Angelo State handed Eastern New Mexico University a 6-2 loss in Lone Star Conference women’s soccer on Saturday.
Brown’s barrage helped the Rambelles (8-6-1, 2-2 LSC) to a 5-1 halftime lead. Freshman forward Megan Dozier scored both goals for the first-year Zias (2-9, 1-4), who went winless in four matches in their first homestand.
On Friday, ENMU took a quick 1-0 lead, but Midwestern State tied the score just over a minute later and went on to a 4-1 victory. Freshman Anna Funck converted the Zias’ goal less than eight minutes into the match after a corner kick by Stacia Givens.
