CANYON, Texas – West Texas A&M returned to win the column on Wednesday evening with a 3-1 victory over rival Eastern New Mexico at The Pitch in Canyon. The Lady Buffs improved to 10-5-0 on the season and 6-4-0 in Lone Star Conference play wearing their red jerseys and socks on ALS Awareness Night. 
 
WT finished the game with 36 shots, 18 of those on-target, led by the game-high nine from Asha James. Daniela Estrada made four saves in her first start in goal since Sept. 5.
 
Hannah Kelley-Lusk scored her 19^th of the season and 50^th of her career in the 5^th minute to give the Lady Buffs an early lead. Maliyah Mendoza beat her defender down the right side before finding Kelley-Lusk, who needed just one touch to send the ball into the back of the net and become the second player in program history to reach the 50-goal plateau. 
 
ENMU would tie the game at 1-all seven minutes later when Kelsey Medina scored off her own rebound. Emily Avila's eighth goal of the season would help the Lady Buffs retake the lead in the 23^rd minute. Mendoza was once again credited with the assist after finding a wide-open Avila just inside the penalty area.
 
The Lady Buffs continued to attack the Greyhound goal but were unable to find a third until the 77^th minute. James got a pass from Kelley-Lusk before weaving through the ENMU defense and depositing the ball into the back of the net for her 11^th of the season. 
 
The Lady Buffs start their two-game road trip on Saturday, Oct. 30, with a trip to St. Mary's. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.
