JOPLIN, MO. — Leif Craddock (So., GK, Amarillo, TX/West Texas A&M Univ.) recorded another shutout as Eastern New Mexico University defeated Missouri Southern State University, 1-0, on Friday, Oct. 21 in a Southwest Soccer Conference game. The Greyhounds improved their overall record to 4-11-1 and 2-8 in the SSC. The Lions dropped to 4-11 overall and are also 2-8 in the SSC.

ENMU scored the only goal of the game on a penalty kick by Rob Humphrey (So., M, Moriarty, NM/Fort Lewis College) at the 21:54 mark. This was Humphrey’s first goal of the season. The penalty was assessed against an MSSU player because of a hand ball in the box.
