OBU Sweeps Sterling

Article Date

Oklahoma Baptist University's soccer teams picked up two more wins Friday, sweeping Sterling College, 2-1 in the women's game and 5-0 in the men's contest.

The Lady Bison (6-0-1) took a 1-0 lead in the 12th minute on a goal by Katya Arruda with an assist from Hilary Hendrickson. That lead stood up until the 75th minute when Jaymi McAnally tapped home a rebound after a Maira Negri save.

The Lady Bison, however, rallied back with a goal from Carissa Watson off an Autumn Oury corner kick with seven minutes left in the game.

Negri had five saves for OBU while the Lady Bison kept Warrior keeper Krystal Rogers busy. Rogers had 16 saves as OBU rattled off 27 shots to Sterling's 10.

The men's game had even more lopsided shooting stats with the Bison out-shooting the Warriors 33-3. Quinn Will played in goal in the last half and had both of OBU's saves.

Pablo Campos put OBU ahead 1-0 in the 14th minute, being set up by Nickson Odeny and Marcos Silva.

Elcio Frietas made it 2-0 for the Bison (8-2-1), scoring off a corner kick from Fabio Pires.

Jake Stehr scored just minutes before halftime after getting a nice set up from Marcelo Drummond and Adauto Oliveira.

Campos added a penalty kick goal in the 69th minute and Oliveira finished off the scoring in the 80th minute with a feed from Kyle Van Syoc.

The OBU teams will be back in action Saturday, hosting McPherson College. Both Sterling teams dropped to 5-2 on the season.
