OKLAHOMA CITY -- Senior defender Andrew Webster scored two goals to help the Mid-America University Evangels rally from two goals down to hand the Wayland Baptist University Pioneers their first conference loss of the season, 3-2 in overtime Thursday afternoon (Oct. 18) at MACU Soccer Field.  The Pioneers were the No. 27-ranked squad in the NAIA coming into the match, receiving 71 votes to narrowly miss out on appearing in the top 25 poll. 

Kevin Cabello started the rally with a goal off a keeper deflection in the 64th minute of the second half. 

Webster then tied the game seven minutes later off a nice feed from Abeni Yosef that sent the match into overtime.

Then with just 33 seconds left in the first extra session, Webster gave the Evangels (8-4-1, 2-2-1 SAC) the win by scoring off of a post deflection. 

In the opening half, Vitalis Atemafac had given the Pioneers (10-3-1, 3-1-1 SAC) the lead by scoring off a set piece at the 27:19 mark. 

Atemafac then assisted on the Pioneers' second goal by feeding Jevaughn Vance with a cross to the middle in the 37th minute. 

The shot count reflected how close the match was throughout, with the Evangels narrowly out-shooting the Pioneers 18-17 overall and 11-10 on-goal.

Raphael Bonnelle led the Evangels with seven shots and six shots-on-goal, while Javier Parry had a team-high four shots and two shots-on-goal. 

MACU's Tyler McIntosh and WBU's John-Ramses Thomas each made eight saves in the match.

The Evangels will next celebrate Senior Day by hosting Lubbock Christian University on Saturday afternoon (Oct. 20) at 1 p.m.
