In the men's game, Brady Nikkel gave Oklahoma Christian a 1-0 lead in the 29th minute with an assist by Robby Riggs.

The Bison tied the score with 6:38 left in the half when Fabio Pires and Taizo Kasuya set up Aduato Oliveira on the first of his two goals.

Marcos Silva blasted a goal past Jason Miller, taking an assist from Rafael Heck in the 65th minute.

Silva set Oliviera up for the final goal with 50 seconds to play.

Joao Acedo had four saves for the Bison, who out-shot the Eagles 22-11.

The Bison and Lady Bison return to SAC action Tuesday at USAO.
