• Team Notes:
  • Mid-America Christian will be looking to bounce back in its first Sooner Athletic Conference matchup against Oklahoma City after the Evangels dropped a hard-fought 2-1 matchup to Morningside in their final non-conference match of the regular season. Jasmine Morales scored a late goal cut into the deficit and had some late opportunities for an equalizer, but came up just short in the end.
  • In limited opportunities, Morales has been efficient in her scoring opportunities. The local Oklahoma City product is boasting the highest shots on-goal percentage of any player on the team with at least five or more on-target shots (.714) and with a .286 shot percentage, has the second-highest clip of anyone who has attempted more than five shots this year.
  • The Evangels will be looking to replicate the same success they had in the Sooner Athletic Conference during the 2020-21 season as MACU went 8-1 to place second in league play.
