Portales, NM -- Edgar Bear scored two goals in the first half to lead the Eastern New Mexico Greyhounds to a 4-0 win over the Missouri Southern Lions in a Southwest Soccer Conference match Sunday afternoon (Oct. 21) in Portales, N.M.

Bear's first goal came on an assist from Jared Morris in the 15th minute of the match. The Greyhounds wasted little time getting on the board again as Dreaux Plair scored off a corner kick at the 20:51 mark to put ENMU up 2-0.

Bear added his second tally in the 27th minute off a corner kick to make it a 3-0 lead for the Greyhounds (7-8-1, 2-4-1 SSC).

Donnel Jackson finished the scoring for ENMU with a score in the 64th minute with an assist from Cesareo Contreras.

The shots ended up close, with the Greyhounds holding a 14-11 overall edge and a 9-6 advantage on-goal.

Ben Pantzlaff (Omaha, Neb.) led the Lions (3-9-2, 0-5-1 SSC) with four shots.

Jon Hansen (Wichita, Kan.) stopped five shots for Southern and Leif Craddock recorded six saves for the Greyhounds.

The Lions will get back at it on Wednesday afternoon (Oct. 24) with an SSC matchup at Northeastern State beginning at 3 p.m. in Tahlequah, Okla. Southern tied NSU 1-1 earlier this year (Oct. 3) in Joplin.
