Oklahoma City, Okla. -- The Mid-America Christian Evangels scored a season-best 102 points to take a dramatic 102-98 victory over the Southwestern Assemblies of God Lions and advance to the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) semifinal round tomorrow night (Mar. 11) at  8 p.m. against No. 3 seed York College. 

The contest went back and forth much of the night and featured 13 ties, with the last coming on a three-point play by SAGU's Ronald Horne that knotted the score at 94-94 with 2:23 remaining. 

Nathan Pratt then hit a free throw that put the Evangels on top to stay and Cameron Langster followed that with two consecutive buckets and a free throw that made it 100-95 with 58 seconds left. 

But the Lions weren't through as Horne nailed a three that cut the lead to just two at the 50 second mark. 

The Lions got a stop on the defensive end and had a chance to tie or take the lead, but the Evangels forced a turnover and Brandon Williams stepped up and iced the victory with two free throws. 

It was a 49-49 gridlock at the half when Nathaniel Ward scored to give the Lions a two-point and SAGU would lead much of the second half. 

The Evangels forced five ties over the next 15 minutes but couldn't grab the lead until a free throw by Pratt put MACU up 90-89 at the 4:01 mark of the second half. 

Langster led six Evangels in double-figures with 18 points and George Haynes chipped in with 15 on 6-of-7 shooting from the field.

Five Lions also reached double-digit scoring, led by Horne's 25 points.  Jared Gibson scored 21 and Ward tallied 16 and a game-high 15 rebounds. 

The Evangels shot only 2-of-14 from three-point distance, but wound up with a solid 53.8 percent (42-of-78) overall shooting clip for the game.
