Box Score TISHOMINGO, Okla. – Murray State College men's soccer dominated from start to finish on Wednesday afternoon, defeating the University of Arkansas Rich Mountain, 5-0, in an impressive team performance.
 
The Aggies wasted no time setting the tone, controlling possession and creating chances early. In the 17th minute, Matheus Andrade Gomes opened the scoring, followed just five minutes later by a strike from Dariel Contrera. Before halftime, Daniel Minhas added another, giving Murray State College a commanding 3-0 lead at the break.
 
The second half brought more of the same, as the Aggies continued to pressure the Bucks and limit their opportunities. Bernardo Silva extended the lead in the 53rd minute, and Miguel Santos capped the scoring in the 73rd minute to seal the 5-0 win. Murray State College's defense remained organized, en route to their second clean sheet of the season.

"A professional first half performance which set the tone for the game, said Coach Winning. It is always good to get a clean sheet win at home and was a great way to honor the memory of Jayden. My prayers are with his loved ones and friends."

The Aggies are now 5-1-2 on the season, 5-0-1 in Region II play. Murray State returns to the pitch on Sunday for a home region matchup against Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College.
