SHAWNEE – Coming off their first win over the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma under head coach

Oklahoma Baptist has boasted a potent offense this season, scoring at least three goals in three of their first four matches and hold a 2-2 record overall.

Jonathan Martinez and
Thiago Dos Santos have netted twice each. Supply lines have come from all over the field, with six different Bison recording an assist, including

The defense was bolstered by the insertion of freshman goalkeeper
Bronson Wise between the sticks, as he posted seven saves against one goal allowed in his first career start. Oklahoma Baptist has bent, but not broken on defense as they own a minus-3.7 margin in shots per match. However, opposing offenses only hold a .180 shot conversion rate.
