MSU flexed its offensive muscle in the 68th minute when Paulo Teixeira scored the equalizer for the Mustangs.
Midwestern took the lead in the 78th minute when VcMor Eligwe fired his shot off the crossbar and into the net giving the Mustangs a 2-1 lead. WT was unable to find the equalizer and the clock counted them out giving Midwestern the victory.
This contest proved to be physical as 29 fouls were called between the two teams with nine yellow cards issued as well.
Sebastian Furness made three saves in the match for the Buffs bringing his overall record to 11-6-1 overall and 4-4 in LSC play.
WT will now await its postseason fate as the announcement for the NCAA tournament will be made later this week.
