OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – The 22^nd-ranked Lyon College men's soccer team traveled to No. 7 Mid-America Christian University on Saturday night and fell in a top-25 matchup by a score of 5-1.
 
A slow first half start from the Scots saw them go into the halftime break down 1-0 without managing to get a single shot off. A hard time stringing passes together resulted in Mid-America dictating much of the play early on. The Scots left side hand seemed to be a big cause for concern in the first half as the Evangels capitalized, cutting the ball back from the wing and putting it on a plate for Rodrigo Albuquerque to slot into the bottom right of the goal in the 38th minute of the game.
 
The Scots came out all guns blazing in the second half, with a good chance in the first few moments just going high from Carlos Carvalho. The Evangels answered back shortly after in the 50^th minute as Ricardo Ferreira smartly slotted home on the end of a defense splitting pass. Ferreira claimed his second goal five minutes later in the 55th after a lapse of concentration and a missed clearance from the Lyon back line. The Evangels weren't done there though and scored pair of goals in the 65th and 66th minutes. Marcos Fernandez showed great composure finding the far-right corner with some finesse in the 88th minute off a nice assist by Oscar Rosas.
 
The Lyon College Scots moved to 3-3 for the season, while Mid-America Christian University moved to 5-0.
 
Bosco Perry totaled four saves for the game. While Marcos Fernandez finished with one goal. Oscar Rosas also had one assist.
 
The Scots look to set things straight quickly with their next game coming up against the University of Science & Arts in Chickasha, Oklahoma on Monday, Sept. 13^th at 6:00 p.m.
