Will Brahic, a junior midfielder from Modesto, California, nailed a shot less than two minutes into the second half of the match to tie the game at 1-1.

The Eagles tallied nine shots in the match, including five in the second half. Junior goalkeeper Chris Schultz (1-1) had three saves for Ozarks. Brahic led the team with four shots and senior forward Ricky Herrera and junior defender Ryan Pierson each had two shots. The Eagles’ victory was the first against Hardin-Simmons University since joining the American Southwest Conference. The Eagles’ fortunes turned sour against McMurry University on Sunday.

The Eagles will have two more non-conference games before opening conference play against Austin College September 12 at home.
