[November 22, 2010]  TYLER, Texas -- Lincoln College (17-2-4) defeated Otera College (17-1-1) by a score of 4-1 Friday at the NJCAA national soccer championships.

Stiven Salinas, the leading scorer for the Lincoln team, scored two minutes into the game off an assist from Isai Lemus. The goal came from a nine-pass combination buildup.

The Lincoln coaching staff said that's how the Lynx played all year -- "jumping out strong and scoring first."

The Lynx would follow up with another goal less than 10 minutes later when Lemus slotted Salinas again for his 23rd goal of the season.

Otera would find the back of the net to make it 2-1 with a few minutes left at half.

The second half saw the Lynx take a bigger lead when Salinas chipped a through ball for Edwin Moalosi for a breakaway goal.

Fernando Cano would set up the fourth and final goal with a long diagonal ball over the top to Salinas, who slotted a ball, but the keeper got his hand on it and Moalosi put the rebound in to finalize the score at 4-1.

It was a great performance against a very strong Otera team from Colorado. The Lincoln coaching staff was very happy the team bounced back from the close, hard-fought loss the day before.

With the win, Lincoln advanced to play for fifth place at the national Division I tournament. The Lynx were scheduled to play the winner of Darton and Iowa Western at 9 a.m. Sunday for fifth and sixth place. (See article.)
