 LC head soccer coach Ben Massena summarized the game:"We came out
very strong today, having several great chances and missing a
breakaway. Lewis and Clark did very well, and changing the pace of
the game and putting us under a lot of pressure, and the last 30
minutes the game was mostly theirs.
"Daniel Martinez came up huge for us in goal, having seven saves
for us and allowing zero goals in the first half.
"Lewis and Clark have several very dynamic players, and they
caused us a lot of issues. We also had to change our style of play
due to the size of the field. We were lucky to get out at half 0-0.
"We had a good discussion at halftime and how to break their
lines of pressure, and the boys did great at changing our tactics
and we came out strong again, scoring a goal when Peter Niederer
sent a long diagonal to Gideon Moranga, who hit a great one-time
shot from 20 yards put around the keeper.

"Despite hitting the crossbar two times, we were unable to
find another goal until the 15th minute, when Peter Niederer hit
a long-driven shot from 30 yards out that the keeper had no
chance at stopping.
"I was very pleased at how the guys bounced back after a bad
first half. We have to get better at putting a full 90 minutes
together if we want to stay successful.
"The worst part of the day was that our starting left back broke
his tibia early in the match and will be out the rest of the
season."
Lincoln plays their first home game at 10 a.m. Saturday versus
Parkland.
