Before the first game of the season, the Wayland Baptist Soccer team received its NAIA National Championship rings, and then defended the number one ranking with a 3-0 lightning-shortened victory over Lubbock Christian University.
Luis Almeida opened the scoring for the Pioneers, who never looked back on the way to a relatively easy victory.
Wayland will next be in action on Wednesday, August 29 when the Pioneers host Huston-Tillotson University at 3:00 pm.
