OKLAHOMA CITY -- The Tabor College Lady Jays struck for two goals in the second half to come back for a 3-2 win over the Mid-America Christian University Lady Evangels despite being out-shot 19-5 overall and 10-4 on-goal Friday afternoon (Aug. 30) at MACU Soccer Field.
The Lady Evangels held a 2-1 edge until Jessica Renzelman tied the score at the 59:00 minute mark and Victoria Cantu put the Lady Jays ahead for good with a goal just two minutes later.
When MACU had opportunities to pull even late, Tabor goalkeeper Amber Mayer closed the door by making three crucial saves in the final minutes of regulation.
After Kaitlyn Wells put the Lady Jays ahead 1-0 at the 12:30 mark of the first half, the Lady Evangels responded on goals from Kaci Power and Chelsea Swisher over a three minute span to take a 2-1 lead 20 minutes into the match.
Swisher had a match-high six shots for the Lady Evangels, with Power and Ciara Mitchell each registering four shot attempts.
The Lady Evangels will next be in action on Tuesday evening (Sept. 3) at Bethany College at 6 p.m. in Bethany, Kan.
