Springfield, Mo. – Evangel scored their first goal in program history Tuesday in a 2-1 loss to Central Baptist (Ark.) at the Lake Country Soccer Complex in the Crusaders home opener.

Novak's goal came in the 86th minute but Evangel could not find a way to forge a tie. The goal was Evangel's first for the program as it returned to intercollegiate competition for the first time since 1974.
Central Baptist got a first half goal from Callum Morris and a second half score by Thomas Milner.
The game was delayed by lightning for 30 minutes with 7:37 remaining in the first half.
