OC scored first followed shortly by Godfrey's first goal of the season. OC then scored a quick succession of goals for a 5-1 halftime lead, adding a goal in the second half for the final score. OC was once again by Cristian Fernandes who scored five goals in the game, tying the OC school record for goals in a game.
Here's how OC described the game:
SOCCER TEAMS BLITZ STERLING
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (Sept. 30, 2008) – Oklahoma Christian University posted 12 goals in a men’s-women’s doubleheader sweep of Sterling College (Kan.) on Tuesday night.
The Lady Eagles took a 6-0 shutout, while the Eagles tallied a 6-1 victory. The win was the third straight for the women’s squad who improved to 4-3-1. The Eagles returned to .500 at 3-3-2.
In the men’s game, Cristian Fernandes scored five times to tie his own school record for goals in a single game. He also scored five goals in a 6-1 throttling of St. Gregory’s
(Okla.) last season. The record also belongs to Magness Karlsson (1989) and Trey Truesdell (1998).
The Eagles got the scoring going Tuesday night with a rocket-shot goal from Matt Lambert from 30 yards out at the 20:03 point.
Sterling (6-2) answered just 2:52 later when Godfrey Miheso headed in a shot in the box to tie it at 1-1.
But Fernandes took over from there. The Maringa, Brazil, native scored at 26:53 with help from Trey Boykin to untie the game. He then made it 3-1 in the 30th minute when he scored on a penalty kick.
Fernandes and Boykin teamed up again at the 33:31 point to up the lead to 4-1. More insurance came at the 39:09 juncture when Neil Hilton found Fernandes for his fourth first-half goal.
The score was 5-1 at halftime.
Fernandes completed his eye-opening night by scoring off a pass from Andy Lopez in the game’s 70th minute to up the edge to 6-1.
The scores ran Fernandes’ Sooner Athletic Conference-leading total to 11. He led OC with 18 goals in 2007.
The lopsided win saw OC outshoot Sterling 19 to 9. The Eagles’ six goals came from 14 total shots on goal. The Warriors put the ball on frame just three times.
Here is OC's scoring summary for the game. It will be interesting to read Sterling's summary as I thought Sterling had assists on its lone goal.

Although the final score was not what Sterling fans hoped for, it was fun to have a "home game" for the Oklahoma (and beyond) Sterling fans. I want to thank G-ma, Aunt Janice, KAN, Gregg S, Brent R, Mike C, Lisa C and Mike T for coming to the game to watch Ryan and Sterling. Also, I know that former Sterling player Charlie Sewell was in attendance.
