OKLAHOMA CITY -- Mid-America Christian University senior Luis Martinez has been named to the All-Sooner Athletic Conference squad as a second-team selection, the league announced last night (May 6).  Also, senior Justin Rivera earned a Rawlings SAC Gold Glove award as a right fielder. 

Martinez has been the Evangels' offensive catalyst this season, leading the team in batting average (.369), runs (32), hits (55), slugging percentage (.544), on-base percentage (.429) and doubles (15).  He is also second in RBI (25) and tied for second in homers (3). 

Rivera was flawless in right field this season, recording 38 putouts along with six assists with no errors. 

The duo is now helping the Evangels gear up to play in the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) Central Regional tournament, beginning next Wednesday (May 9) at Coca-Cola All-Star park in Lakewood, Colo, just one mile from the Colorado Christian University campus.   

MACU will begin action in the tourney at 3 p.m. (CST) against top-seeded Oklahoma Wesleyan.
