BOLIVAR, Mo. – Cassidy Menke’s fourth goal of the season gave the Missouri Western soccer team its seventh win of the season, a 1-0 victory at Southwest Baptist on Saturday afternoon.

Menke’s goal in the ninth minute of the game was all Missouri Western needed to move to 7-3 on the year. With eight games remaining in the regular season, the Griffons are three wins away from setting a new program record for most wins in a season.

Missouri Western out-shot SBU 17-8, 11-3 in the second half alone. The Griffons also had nine corner kicks to SBU’s one. Lexie Martin picked up the win in goal for Missouri Western with five saves. Martin is now 4-1 on the season with three shutouts.

The Griffons stay on the road next week with trips to Nebraska-Kearney and Fort Hays State. UNK was 3-5-1 and 0-2 in MIAA play entering Sunday. Fort Hays State was 6-2-1 and 2-0 in the MIAA entering its game on Sunday at Central Missouri.
