OKLAHOMA CITY – Following one of the most successful seasons in program history, the Mid-America Christian University men's soccer team has laid claim to several more national athletic awards from both the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA), and the United Soccer Coaches (USC).

Dominik Tajak was named an All-American by the NAIA and the NCCAA, while Brad Bennions also earned recognition from the NCCAA.

Tajak, a 6-6 sophomore forward from Erlangen, Germany, set a new MACU record with 23 goals during the season. His outstanding campaign was recognized by the NAIA, where he was named an honorable mention for All-America status, and he was named a First-Team All-American at the NCCAA level, and he was also on the USC NCCAA All-America Team. Tajak helped the Evangels set numerous team records as well.

Bennions, a 5-7 senior midfielder from Middlesborough, England, was named to the NCCAA Division I All-Tournament Team as a midfielder. He tallied two goals and nine points during his senior campaign.

The Evangels won a program record 13 matches, posting a 13-7-3 mark that included a 6-3-1 record in Sooner Athletic Conference play. MACU earned an at-large berth to the NCCAA National Championship, finishing their season in pool play at the Championship.
