LONDON, Ont. - The Western Mustangs moved up to third place in the division and extended their winning streak to three games on Sunday afternoon after climbing to a 4-0 victory over Brock at Mustangs Field.

"We did a good job of holding the ball and maintaining possession and waiting for the opportunity to get in and score the goals," head coach Rock Basacco commented about Sunday's play. "I'm pleased with our attacking play as of late, we've been able to score 10 goals in the last three games, so that part is coming along nicely."

Holding the third spot in the OUA west division, the Mustangs' record improves to 8-4-1, while Brock falls to 1-8-5.

Striker Christian Douglas netted two goals in the victory, and is now tied for second in scoring on the OUA leaderboard.

Western was quick to take control of the game in a mission to claim the win. At the 23-minute mark Amad El-Houni curved a low ball past the Brock keeper to put the Mustangs up 1-0. Just three minutes later the purple and white struck again, as defender Adam Jaekel blasted a shot into the back of the net.

With the scoreboard sitting at 2-0 at the beginning of the second half, Western did not let up on the offensive front. At the 67th minute Douglas would put himself on the scoresheet with a goal for the Mustangs, adding another goal just one minute later off a well-placed header. Despite a push from Brock to try and make a comeback it was just not enough, and the Mustangs came away with the 4-0 victory and the fifth shutout of the season for goalie Ben Cowman.

With a short break, the Mustangs are back in action on Wednesday, October 5 when they travel to Waterloo to face the Laurier Golden Hawks. Game time is set for 4:15 p.m.
