No. 13 Baker crushes No. 16 Oklahoma Baptist 5-0

BALDWIN CITY, Kan. – The game itself was never in question past the 20^th minute of play on Friday evening, as the 13^th ranked BU men’s soccer team crushed No. 16 Oklahoma Baptist University 5-0.

Donny George got the scoring started in the 18^th minute on a cross from Tom Lowndes and Nate Bylarly added another goal just four minutes later to give Baker a quick 2-0 advantage.

Rich Klein continued the onslaught in the 43^rd minute on a screaming cross from Sean McAlister to give Baker a 3-0 lead heading into the break.

The knockout punches came in the 47^th minute when Tom Lowndes put Baker ahead 4-0 on a penalty kick and in the 50^th minute when Donny George scored off a corner kick from Lowndes.

Matt Bickley made four saves in the contest to record his fourth shutout of the season.

“It was important for us to prove ourselves against a top-10 team,” said head coach Nate Houser. “The OBU men have only lost to No. 1 Hastings and No. 7 Azusa Pacific and they are a very good technical team. We were able to blunt their attack with some very hard work. Seeing the guys score some goals was nice, they’ve put the time and effort and it paid off today.”

Baker returns to action on Saturday afternoon at 5:15 p.m. against Midland Luthern College (Neb.)
