Three seniors score to lift Lions to 5-0 victory over ENMU

COMMERCE, Texas – The Lion soccer team won their final home game of the regular season on Monday afternoon, defeating Eastern New Mexico 5-0. With the win, A&M-Commerce improves to 9-5-2 overall, including a 5-1-2 mark in the Lone Star Conference.
 
Quotable
"The first goal changed the whole game. I thought we could have scored more in the first half. Eastern gave us a good fight for the first twenty minutes of the second half and had a few chances to score. Our fourth goal really ended the game." – Lion head coach Neil Piper
