The Culver-Stockton College men’s soccer team ended a month’s worth of frustration with a 2-1 victory over Evangel University Saturday afternoon in Springfield, Mo.

The Wildcats, who had been shutout in their last six games and hadn’t won since a 4-2 decision over Avila (Mo.) Sept. 3, fell behind 1-0 in the first 10 minutes against the Valor.

However, C-SC’s Adam Fowler ended the scoring drought at 579 minutes with an unassisted goal in the 13th minute to tie the game 1-1.

That would be the halftime score as each team recorded eight shots in the first half. C-SC had the better opportunities with six shots on goal in the opening 45 minutes.

The Wildcats turned up the heat in the second half and outshot the hosts 17-9 in the half and 25-17 overall. Thirteen of their 17 second half shots were on goal.

C-SC finally grabbed the lead in the 59th minute as Manuel Gavina netted his first goal of the season to give the Wildcats a 2-1 advantage.

Goalkeeper Jack Gibson made that score stand up as he made five saves in the second half and seven saves overall to record the victory.

Montse Caparros recorded a hat trick and Jody Ellis added three assists as the Culver-Stockton women’s soccer team rolled to a 6-0 victory over Evangel University Saturday afternoon in Springfield, Mo.

The game was called with 30:25 remaining in the second half due to inclement weather.

The Wildcats improve to 7-3 overall and 3-2 in the Heart of America Athletic Conference. The Valor fall to 3-8 overall and 0-6 in the conference.

Caparros added an unassisted goal in the 52nd minute, and her third goal of the game in the 56th minute before the weather set in and delayed the game. Aranda assisted on Caparros’ third goal.

Ten minutes short of an official game, lightening persisted and both coaches agreed to end the game at that point after a call with Heart commissioner Lori Thomas.

C-SC finished with a 22-2 edge in shots, including a 13-0 advantage on goal.

Goalkeeper Trinity Register and the Wildcat defense recorded their fifth shutout of the season.

On C-SC’s next possession, the Wildcats moved the ball to the Raven 16-yard line before seeing the drive end with a 33-yard field goal by Michael Velasco to give the visitors a 10-7 four minutes into the second quarter.

That is when things started going sour for the Wildcats.

The C-SC defense initially forced the Ravens to punt on the ensuing possession; however, a muffed punt gave the ball back to the hosts and they made the Wildcats pay with a touchdown to give Benedictine a 14-10 lead.

The C-SC offense answered with a nine play drive to the Raven 17 before it had to settle for another field goal attempt.

Velasco’s 34-yard attempt was blocked and the Ravens wasted no time, moving 80 yards on four plays to take a 20-10 lead.

The Wildcats, who had forced more turnovers than committed in the previous five games, committed their second turnover of the quarter when Orndorff was intercepted on the ensuing drive.

Benedictine took advantage and scored its third touchdown of the quarter just before halftime to take a 27-10 lead to the intermission.

The Wildcats began the third quarter by fumbling the opening kickoff and the Ravens recovered.
