Crossword Genius

Got lucky with female Evangelist on date (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fluked

'got lucky' is the definition.
(to fluke is to get unexpectedly lucky)

'female evangelist on date' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'evangelist' becomes 'luke' (I have seen 'Biblical evangelist' mean 'luke' so perhaps 'evangelist' could also mean 'luke').
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'date' becomes 'd' (common abbreviation eg in DOB, date of birth).
'f'+'luke'+'d'='FLUKED'

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for fluked that I've seen before include "won, luckily" , "hit by accident" .)
