Eagles seize win over Tabor College

HILLSBORO, Kan. (Oct. 5, 2009) – The Oklahoma Christian men’s soccer team notched another dominant win in Monday afternoon’s game. The Eagles prevailed against Tabor College (Kan.) grabbing an 8-1 victory.

The Eagles started the match with an ever-present desire to score, battering the Tabor goal with shots. Early in the game, Cristian Fernandes utilized a Pablo Hernandez assist to put the ball in the net and give the Eagles an early lead. Several minutes later, OC’s Craig Turbyfill put up a corner kick and shortly after assisted Ryan Frampton with the Eagles’ second goal.

Moments later, Matt Lambert got his chance at the goal and put the ball past the keeper after being assisted by Hernandez.  The Eagles continued to attack the Tabor goal with shot after shot until the last minutes of the half when Trey Boykin headed in the fourth goal for the Eagles putting them up 4-0 at half.

Oklahoma Christian lost no time getting back to business after the half. Following a few shots, Tyler Brady got his head on a Logan Frampton assist to score another goal for the Eagles. Minutes later, Brady put a second ball into the net and was shortly followed by a Hernandez goal to put two more points on the board in less than a minute.

Now up 7-0 early into the second half, Tabor’s Robert Masson answered with a successful shot off of David Simmet’s assist to end the Eagles’ shutout.

As the clock continued to run down, the Eagles continued to try and breach the Tabor defense. After several unsuccessful shots, Boykin found the goal with only a couple minutes remaining to put an eighth point on the board for the Eagles earning them an 8-1 victory.
