The good news is the Eagles are still unbeaten.
But through three games they’ve tied two opponents, including last week’s 1-1 deadlock against Louisiana State University-Shreveport.
The scoring came at both ends of the match, which was hosted by Shreveport.
Less than four minutes after the opening whistle Biel Campo ripped a goal for OKWU. Julian Tovar and Tylor Guerrero both received an assist.
The 1-0 lead held up until the final five minutes. With 4:10 left, LSU-Shreveport knotted the score, 1-1.
