EDMOND, Okla. - Oklahoma Christian defeated DBU Saturday night in the Eagles' conference home opener, 3-1, behind Ethan Nakolo's third multi-goal match in his last four outings.

What Went Down

• An aggressive OC offense put quick and early pressure on the DBU back line before cashing in with Nakolo's first goal of the match at the 18:02 mark off an assist from Igor Caballero.
• A Patriot foul from just outside the box early in the second half yielded the maroon-and-gray's next goal as Jorge Blanc's free kick hit off the crossbar before Luca Friederich cleaned it up for the 2-0 Oklahoma Christian lead.
• Just over 60 seconds later, DBU converted on a corner kick to cut its deficit in half, 2-1. The Eagles' defense held up, however, with great tackles from Blanc and Ezra Moser on breakaway runs for the Patriots to keep the advantage.
• In the 63', Nakolo's second goal came following a foul in the box as the conference's current goals leader put the penalty kick in the back of the net for what would be the eventual final score, 3-1.

Notes

• Saturday's three goals was the most goals OC has scored on DBU in regulation since 1997. 
• Nakolo now has 11 goals on the season, which continues to pace the Lone Star Conference with goals in four straight matches. The Yukon, Okla., native's 23 points is also the most points in the league with second place having 16.
• Caballero is third in the conference with four assists on the year. All four assists have finished with Nakolo as the beneficiary.
