Men's soccer Extends Winning Streak to Four

MBU went on the road to Missouri Valley College and won an important Region V contest. Missouri Baptist University controlled the game from the start. Lawrence Olum had a chance to put MBU on the board 30 minutes into the game when, but he missed a penalty kick. Five minutes later MBU’s Brock Chatman got a breakaway (assisted by junior forward Rackley Thomas) as Chatman slid the ball past the MVC keeper for the Spartans only goal of the game. Freshman Juan Villacres recorded his third shutout of the season for the Spartans. “I thought we played well today. To come here and control the game the way we did is not an easy thing to do. We created some good chances and need to finish better. We can get better, I do not think we are clicking yet but it is coming” said MBU Head Coach, Jared Embick. MBU improves to 5-2on the season.

The Spartans open up conference play this week with two games on the road. MBU travels to Hannibal-Lagrange College on Tuesday and at Harris-Stowe State College on Friday.
