Evangels Battle Rams to 2-2 Tie

OKLAHOMA CITY -- The Mid-America Christian University Evangels played the Texas Wesleyan University Rams to a 2-2, double-overtime tie in an intense Sooner Athletic Conference battle today (Oct. 6) at MACU Soccer Field. 

Trailing 2-1 with 5:30 remaining, Devin Theisen put in a shot off a rebound with an assist from Raphael Bonelle to pull MACU even. 

The Rams had taken the lead on a goal by Preston Baker at the 72:49 mark. 

Once in the extra sessions, neither squad was able to generate any offensive and combined for zero shot attempts. 

Gleydson Neri put the Evangels on top by darting to the middle of the box and scoring off an assist from Peterson Neri in the 18th minute of the first half. 

Ross McArthur then tied the score for the Rams just two minutes later. 

The Evangels (5-3-1, 1-0-1) out-shot the Rams (7-3-1, 1-1-1 SAC) 26-15 overall and 10-6 on-goal. 

Tyler McIntosh made four saves in the net for the Evangels and Marko Jovanovich stopped seven shots for the Rams. 

The Evangels will now hit the road and play at Wayland Baptist University Saturday night (Oct. 10) at 7 p.m. in Plainview, Texas.
