SILOAM SPRINGS, Ark. - The Oklahoma City Men's Soccer team advanced to the SAC title game after gritting out a victory down to 10 men on the field in penalty kicks after Ruben Fahiya sent the game to overtime on a goal with a minute to play.

Oklahoma City 2, John Brown 2 (OCU Wins 8-7 in PKs)

'54 - David Imbert; Assisted By Bernardo Duarte & Marco Alongi
'88 - Ruben Fahiya

How it Happened
Neither side could break through in the first half as Oklahoma City got off just one shot coming from David Imbert only to be saved by the Golden Eagle keeper. Stars goalie Alexis Bertrand kept busy in the first 45 coming up with four saves to keep JBU off the board. 

Imbert put the Stars on top nine minutes into the second half off a double assist by Bernado Duarte and Marco Alongi. John Brown capitalized after OCU went down a man on the field after a red card as the Golden Eagles scored twice in the span of two minutes to go in front with 18 minutes to play. Looking like things were coming to an end, Ruben Fahiya delivered in the clutch finding the back corner of the net to tie it up with a minute to go sending it to overtime. 

Neither side could find goal in the two 10-minute overtime periods sending it to PKs where the Stars prevailed 8-7 sending them to Sooner Athletic Conference Championship game.
