Saul Ramirez got his first start in goal and in the first
five minutes got his first career assist when he punted a ball
down the field and Carlos Santander flicked the ball to a
sprinting Edwin Salazar who dribbled the keeper and passed the
ball into the open net. Lincoln would get their second goal
later in the half when Kevin Lopez dribbled several defenders
and crossed the ball to carlos Santander who hit a one time shot
past the keeper. The second half saw Lincoln defending deep and
keeping ECC off the score board. Despite having 1 sub and
playing a man down due to a red card Lincoln would score a third
goal when Jose Salgado headed it into his own net with 4:00 min
left on the clock. This would be the score line at the end of 90
minutes. Lincoln 2 ECC 1
Sunday the Lynx would take on region 24 Lewis and Clark. This
would be the third game in 5 days and the injury laden Lynx
fought hard and had the majority of play but Lewis and Clark won
2-0.
Coach Massena commented, “We were very proud of how the guys
played both games. We have a lot of injuries and we are playing
a hard schedule with 4 games in 7 days! The guys are playing
hard and the soccer is good, attractive soccer but the result
Sunday wasn't what we wanted. We have to do better with putting
the ball in the back in the net. We missed the final product
Sunday and we need to bounce back on Tuesday when we play
Lincoln Land.”
