TULSA-Freshman Aaron Douthit scored the game's only goal and junior goalkeeper Andrew Techanchuk turned in his second straight shutout as Oral Roberts defeated Houston Baptist 1-0 in the Golden Eagles Invitational, Sunday at ORU Soccer Complex.

Playing much of the game in a driving rainstorm, ORU (2-1-1) and HBU (2-3-0) battled through 78 scoreless minutes before Douthit's goal. Juan Chang gathered the ball on the right side and sent a cross to Douthit, who blasted the ball in from 20 yards out at 78:28 to give ORU a 1-0 lead.

Techanchuk was outstanding in goal once again. Two days after making 10 saves in a 0-0 tie against UNLV, the junior keeper collected six saves against the Huskies. The effort lowered his season goals-against average to a miniscule 0.47.

ORU out-shot Houston Baptist, 14-11. Four different players had four shots apiece.

The Golden Eagles next face Drake in the UMKC Invitational, Friday, Sept. 18 in Kansas City, Mo.
