For the second straight game, sophomore forward Garrett McLaughlin was the hero for SMU. Two of his six shots found the back of the net; his second straight game with two goals. He also accomplished the feat Tuesday, when SMU beat Oral Roberts 2-0 at home.
McLaughlin’s first goal came early on Saturday night. In the sixth minute, he controlled a Bryce Clark pass and put it into the net. Later, he headed in a rebound in the 58th minute to give SMU a two goal cushion.
Keeper Michael Nelson continued his outstanding play, saving two shots and shutting out his opponent for the seventh time this season.
