WOMEN'S GAME NOTES
● LOOKING BACK: Abi Housecroft's golden goal in double overtime lifted the Cavaliers to a 2-1 win over Oklahoma City Tuesday at Fr. Victor Roberts Field. It was the first victory against the Stars in 13 years for SGU, which moved into a four-way tie for fourth in the Sooner Athletic Conference standings.
● SCOUTING SAGU: The Lady Lions currently sit in the eighth and final spot for the SAC Tournament after splitting their last four contests. SAGU is led by Nadine Jaimes' conference-leading 17 goals. She ranks No. 11 nationally in that category. Kathleen Espinoza has 63 saves and a .750 save percentage.
● SERIES VS. SAGU: St. Gregory's has won two of three in the series – the only loss coming last season in Waxahachie. The last time these teams met in Shawnee, the Cavaliers took a 1-0 decision on Araceli Flores' goal just before halftime.
● FLORES FLOURISHING: Araceli Flores continues to add to her program-leading goal total. With 11 in 2016, she now has 38 goals for her career. Flores is tied for fourth in the SAC in points per game (1.9) along with teammate Abi Housecroft. Her goal total is tied for her single-season career high.
● DOWNTON ABI: SGU senior Abi Housecroft set a new single-season mark for goals scored in Tuesday's win over OCU. She now has 10 this season. Housecroft has eight multi-goal games in her career and has a goal and/or assist in eight of the Cavs' 13 games this season.
● FREE KICK SPECIALIST: Beth McHale is having a career season offensively. The Liverpool, England, native had not scored entering this season, but now has six goals in 11 games. Many have come from long distance off free kicks.
● SHUTOUT SHOUTOUT: Jena Flewelling and Mallory Adams have turned into quite the keeper platoon. The duo has combined for five shutouts so far in 2016. Flewelling leads SGU with 42 saves in 932 minutes of work thus far. Adams has a team-best .786 save percentage in 252 minutes.

MEN'S GAME NOTES
● LOOKING BACK: Oklahoma City's Alexandre Taiar accounted for all the scoring in a 2-0 win over St. Gregory's Tuesday at Fr. Victor Roberts Field. SGU's Gabriel Martinez led his team with three shots. Adrian Cole finished with seven saves for the Cavs.
● SCOUTING SAGU: The Lions are winless in their last six contests after beginning the season 8-0-1. SAGU is led by Bonia Velasquez's eight goals. Edgar Chavez has a team-best 32 saves.
● SERIES VS. SAGU: The Cavs are 2-1 all-time against the Lions – the only defeat coming last season in Waxahachie. SGU won 2-1 in the teams' only meeting in Shawnee (2014). Jesus Ibanez netted the game-winning in double overtime in that one.
● FRANK THE TANK: SGU sophomore Frank Molina is tied for the team lead in goals and has put nine of his 14 shot attempts on goal so far in 2016. His game-winner against Bethel (Kan.) helped him earn Sooner Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week honors on September 19.
● FRESHMAN PHENOM: Playing in his first season as a collegian, freshman Gabriel Martinez is making quite the impact. He has a goal and three assists so far and leads the team in total points (5).
● COLE-BLOODED: Cavalier senior Adrian Cole turned in his third shutout of the season against Bethel – the seventh clean sheet of his career. Cole finished second in the NAIA in total saves a season ago (142).
● NOTEWORTHY: Greg Gibson's game-winner against Randall was his sixth career score. Prior to that goal, Gibson hadn't found the net since the 2014 season. Flavio Torres' goal against Sterling was his first as a Cavalier.
