On his return from ACL surgery, Grayson Niswonger immediately made an impact for Ozark Christian College, scoring the opening goal in the 24th minute to help earn a draw with Evangel University. The goal sparked Ozark Christian’s offense as they scored two goals in the draw as a team. The junior from Lee Summit, Missouri provided three shots of his own and gave stability from his central midfield position, winning several challenges that would give his teammates 10 shot opportunities of their own. Ozark Christian starts the year with a tie to break a four-year streak of losing the season opener.
