MARSHALL, Texas –  Howard Payne University led most of the game only to have East Texas Baptist University score two in the final 10 minutes to defeat the Yellow Jackets 4-3.

It was not until the 68th minute that Howard Payne retook the lead when Shay Pate broke away up the middle as Jacob Moore found him. The play developed quickly right after ETBU had a shot deflected off the bar and Moore swooped up the ball going to the middle of the field before passing it up to Pate.

Once again, ETBU acted quickly netting their second goal of the match in the 70th minute on a shot from seven-yards out. In the 73rd minute, just three minutes later, Howard Payne jumped back in front, 3-2, on a Rodolfo DeHoyos header off of a corner kick from Jacob Moore.
