Denton, TX- The Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders (4-6-1, 1-1-1) suffered their first loss in Conference USA play this season with a 3-0 defeat at the hands of the North Texas Mean Green (8-3-0, 3-0-0) on Sunday afternoon.
Coming off a 2-2 draw against Rice in Murfreesboro on Thursday night, the Blue Raiders looked to extend their points-earned streak to three games and get back to a .500 record overall.
Offense did not come easily, or at all for that matter, for the Blue Raiders. They were unable to get a single shot attempt in the first half and ended the game with 6, only 1 of which was on goal.
The Mean Green managed 15 total shots with 9 on goal. Sophomore Berklee Peters accounted for goals in the seventh and 69th minutes, while sophomore Logan Bruffett added another just before the halftime whistle in the 44th minute.
The victory marked a couple of milestones for UNT, who now have a new school record 25-game home unbeaten streak. Even more impressive, the Mean Green have not lost in their last 52 conference home games, the longest active streak in the nation.
