On-top of the two teams' offensive prowess, both squads have been stellar on the defensive end with JBU ranking third in the league at 1.00 goals allowed per game while MACU ranks second with a 0.88 GAA.
  • The Golden Eagles are led in the offensive attack by senior forward Lauren Walter, who put in a hat trick against the Tigers to stretch her team-lead to 13 goals to go with a SAC-leading 10 assists for 36 points, the third-highest point total in the conference.
  • Mid-America Christian will be seeking just its second win ever against the powerhouse John Brown program and its first ever win at Alumni Field. In last season's meeting at the Dill Soccer Field, the Evangels played the Golden Eagles tough. A Kealy Juarez goal in the 13^th minute gave MACU the 1-0 advantage before JBU netted the equalizer in the 21^st minute to send the game into the half all square at 1-1. The Golden Eagles netted a pair of quick goals in the 75^th and 76^th minutes to thwart MACU's comeback chances.
