ROLLA, Mo. – Missouri S&T's men's soccer team extended its winning streak to five games and remained undefeated in Great Lakes Valley Conference play Friday evening as it posted a 3-0 victory over Southwest Baptist at Allgood-Bailey Stadium.

The win, which improved the Miners to 5-1 on the season and 4-0 in the GLVC, gave S&T its first run of five consecutive wins since the 2011 campaign and sets up a showdown Sunday against perennial power Rockhurst at 2:30 p.m. at the S&T Soccer Field.

Friday's win didn't come easily, as Sigurd Semlitsch (Oslo, Norway/Stabekk Videregaaende Skole) got a penalty kick opportunity in the 12^th minute of play but hit it off the crossbar, then goalkeeper Davis Joseph (Andover, KS/Andover Central) had to make a tough save on a shot by Pierre Lurot in the 24^th minute.  S&T then broke on top in the in the 28^th minute of action as Mitch Mueller (Aurora, IL/Waubonsie Valley) – who had just entered the game – got a pass from Dario Rossell (Madrid, Spain/IES Lazaro Cardenas) and drilled a shot by SBU goalkeeper Will vanHoornbeek.

The score remained 1-0 at the intermission, even though the Miners outshot the Bearcats (0-5, 0-3 GLVC) 11-2 over the first 45 minutes of play.

Shortly after Joseph turned away another scoring chance by Lurot, S&T got a second penalty kick opportunity in the 62^nd minute and freshman Jimmy Sanchez (St. Charles, MO/Francis Howell Central) converted it for his first collegiate goal to double the Miner advantage.  The Miners scored again in the 89^th minute as Semlitsch atoned for his missed penalty kick earlier in the night by scoring off an assist from Leyton Harper (Andover, KS/Central).

The Miners outshot the Bearcats 21-6 for the game as Joseph recorded his second shutout in as many starts, making three saves along the way.
