For the first time in program history, the Eagle men’s soccer team has qualified for the Final Four in the NAIA National Tournament.

Oklahoma Wesleyan shut out Georgia Gwinnett College 3-0 in the Elite Eight on Wednesday to advance to the national semifinals.

Aleksandar Simovic scored two goals, one in the 30th minute and another in the 72nd minute to lead OKWU. The Eagles have now outscored their opponents 11-0 in their three matches in the NAIA Tournament.

Up next is a match against Wayland Baptist out of Texas. It will be a 3:00 PM kick on Friday afternoon, the winner will advance to the championship match on Saturday evening.

Wayland is 16-5-2. It was not one of the top 16 national seeds.

The game opposite OKWU and Wayland is between Marymount, California and Missouri Valley.

We will have more from Delray Beach, Florida on Friday, as Oklahoma Wesleyan tries to win a national championship in men’s soccer.
