Lewis and Clark got on the board after
converting a penalty kick in the first half. The Lynx went into
half time down 1-0 despite having the majority of possessions,
leading in shots 8-3, and having 6 corner kicks.
The second half saw the Lynx put a tremendous amount of pressure
on the Trailblazer’s defense as they attacked the whole 45
minutes. However, Lincoln was unable to turn the pressure into
points. Lincoln would allow the only goal of the second half and
be forced to go home with the loss.
“We had 10 shots on goal 8 corner kicks and they had 1 shot and
scored with 2 mins in the match. It’s probably the best game we
have played in a long time that we didn’t win!” said Lincoln
Coach Ben Massena. “The guys left everything on the field and we
did everything right besides score goals. It’s something that
has been our issue all season and until we start getting more
clinical in the final 1/3 we won’t be successful.”
The Lynx move to 4-3 and 1-1 in region play. Lincoln will travel
to East Peoria to play Illinois Central College on Wednesday to
play their next Region match. Earlier this season LC defeated
ICC 2-1 in OT but it only counted for as a Conference match and
not for the Region. This game will be the one that will have an
impact on post-season seeding.
