OKLAHOMA CITY -- After giving up a two-goal lead late in the second half, Peterson Neri made sure the Mid-America Christian University Evangels would walk away winners by nailing the game-winning goal with 3:44 left to give the Evangels a 5-4 victory over the Oklahoma Baptist University Bison in a wild Sooner Athletic Conference matchup Tuesday afternoon (Oct. 8) at MACU Soccer Field.

Neri then gave the Evangels the lead for good off Abel Renteria's second assist of the day at the 86:16 point.  

Khalil Benalioulhaj also scored for the Bison in the first half that knotted the match at 2-2 in the 37th minute of the first half.
