  • Mid-America Christian is coming off another strong challenge from a red-hot Friends team on Tuesday as the Evangels eventually came away with a 2-1 victory over the Falcons.
  • After conceding the go-ahead goal in the 14^th minute on Friends' second shot, the Evangels quickly bounced back when Enzo Nogue fired in the equalizer on a penalty kick in the 19^th minute before Federico Palacios netted the game-winner off a free kick in the 29^th minute.
  • The Falcons put up a stronger fight in the second half, but the Evangels were able to grind out a stiff defensive battle as MACU held on for the 2-1 win.
  • Impressively, the penalty kick goal for Nogue marked his third PK goal of the season and extended his team-lead to five while the game-winner for Palacios was the first winning goal of his MACU career.
  • In an unorthodox fashion, all seven of Mid-America Christian's matches this season have been decided by a single goal or less and even though MACU has only outscored its opposition by an 11-8 margin, the Evangels have been producing strong results with their 4-1-2 overall record for the year with the lone loss coming at No. 6 Oklahoma Wesleyan.
