Kissimmee, Fla.- The Mid-America Christian University Evangels continue their post season winning streak, stunning the No. 1 seed Mid-Continent University (Ky.) 3-2 on Wednesday evening at Austin-Tindall Regional Park.

With the wind at their backs, the eighth seeded Evangels (11-8-1) cruised through the first half taking the lead in the fourth minute of play. Garrett Dresel buried a penalty kick past MCU goalkeeper Alexis Mina making it a 1-0 game.

MACU scored all three of their goals in a 15-minute period of time. They took a 2-0 advantage in the ninth minute when Andrew Webster put away a corner kick served into the box by sophomore Martin Maese.

In the 16th minute of play midfielder Jeremiah Huff rounded out the scoring for the Evangels finishing a cross from Dresel. MACU took a 3-0 lead into intermission.

The Cougars got on the board in the 59th minute with Wayne McCarron netting a cross from Marcio Das Neves making it a 3-1 game.

MCU made it interesting in the 68th minute with McCarron getting his head on a cross from Keane Bennett; putting the Cougars within reach only trailing 3-2.

 The Evangels were able to hold onto their 3-2 lead, sending number one ranked CMU to the losers bracket.

 Austin Custar got the win in goal for the Evangels allowing two goals while making eight saves.

"I am really proud of the way our team played today," head men's soccer coach Zach Bice said. "This was a huge win for our program. It shows how far our team has come over the last year. Our team did a great job executing our game plan and scoring early."
