PORTALES — Leslie Campuzano scored two goals in the first 10 minutes, and No. 11 Texas A&M-Commerce didn't need much else en route to dispatching Eastern New Mexico 4-0 Friday evening at Greyhound Stadium.

She struck again just over five minutes later, taking a pass from Jessika Coronado and scoring o a left-side shot from 35 yards out.
