HOBBS, N.M. (Oct. 3, 2011) -- The Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) men's soccer team improved to 5-3-1 and 3-0 in conference play after a 4-1 win over the University of the Southwest (USW) in Hobbs, N.M. last Saturday.

The game scheduled for Thursday last week against Texas Wesleyan University was postponed due to rain. Team coaches will meet soon to schedule a make-up date.

 

Steven Salinas continued his great goal-scoring form only 13 minutes into the match putting the Saints up 1-0. Salinas has now scored four goals in the last three games for OLLU.
 

The Saints found a second goal in as many minutes when Gerardo Marquez scored on an assist by Aaron Guerrero in the 15th minute, which gave OLLU a 2-0 lead at the half.
 

Things only got worse for the Mustangs after the restart conceding two more goals. Oscar Valencia scored in the 59th minute and Marcelo Chapa in the 74th minute. Luis Flores and Robert Alexe were credited with the assists.
