The Mustangs, with a record of 6-40, seek to snap a nine-game losing streak. After facing Sul Ross State, they will host Western New Mexico in a twin bill on Monday.

Yes, But

While the Mustangs are struggling with a long losing streak and poor performance at home, this weekend's matches may provide an opportunity for a morale boost against teams also facing challenges.

Bottom Line

Midwestern State must leverage the last home games to regain confidence and end the season on a positive note. With recognition for the seniors and facing opponents also struggling, this weekend could be pivotal for momentum heading into the postseason.
