Bellevue received goals from four different players, two in each half, as the Bruins defeated Oklahoma Wesleyan for the second straight time. Freshman Jacob Pease played a set piece from 10 yards off the corner of the 18-yard box onto the head of junior Alan Carr whose header snuck just inside the upper corner of the goal for what would prove to be the eventual game-winner. Senior Scott Robertson made a pair of saves to preserve the clean sheet.
