Inclement weather postponed the Lady Buffs’ Sunday game against Abilene Christian to a new date yet to be determined. However, Friday’s game saw the Lady Buffs run into possibly an even bigger obstacle than Mother Nature as they faced Midwestern State.

WTAMU’s home game against MSU earlier in the season had taken double overtime to declare WT the winner. However, on MSU’s home turf, the Mustangs quickly made any hope of overtime or even a win fade away. When the final buzzer sounded, the scoreboard showed a tally of 5-0 in favor of Midwestern.

The first half of the game saw goalie Yvette Bedoy give up three goals. WT then put in goalie Jamie Hall to try and give the Lady Buffs a much-needed spark but Hall gave up two more goals in the second half.

Possibly even more surprising than the blowout was the shot count. Midwestern tallied up 23 shots compared to the Lady Buffs’ four.

“It was really disappointing because we’ve been working really hard and have had a lot of injuries with a lot of our starting players and not just starters, but within our whole team,” Defender Julia Greif said. “It’s disappointing because we did come out with a win last time so that was a little disheartening.”

The loss took WT’s season record to 6-5-1 with a Lone Star Conference record of 3-4-1.

“I feel like the rest of the season is going to be pretty good. The rest of our games are at home, which really motivates us and gives us an extra boost,” Center defender Alex Williams said.

The Lady Buffs return home on Oct. 14 against Texas A&M University-Commerce at 7:30 p.m. at The Pitch.
