Shawnee, Okla. -- The Oklahoma Baptist University Bison scored the first three goals of the match and never looked back in a 3-1 win over the Mid-America Christian University Evangels tonight (Oct. 7) in a Sooner Athletic Conference contest in Shawnee, Okla. 

Kervy Robles got the Bison on the board first at the 25:46 mark off an assist from Ruben Basurto and Chance Johnson made it 2-0 OBU by scoring in the 37th minute. 

Vicente Castillo then extended the Bison lead to three goals with a score 11 minutes into the second half at the 56:11 point. 

Danny Hernandez helped the Evangels avoid the shutout by putting in his team-leading eighth goal on a helper from Tej Trivedi in the 82nd minute. 

The shots were even at 15-15, with Hernandez tallying a match-high five shots for MACU. 

Tyler McIntosh made six saves for the Evangels (5-6, 1-2 SAC) and Marcus Oliveira started in the net for the Bison (5-6, 2-1 SAC) and stopped four shots.  Truman Berghall then relieved Oliveira for the final 26:33 and recorded two saves.
