		 Send a link to a friend The Lincoln College women's 
			soccer team took to the road Tuesday night and blanked Illinois 
			Valley Community College 8-0 to earn their first win of the early 
			season. Sophomore Mykensie Ward (Athens, IL) led the Lynx attack 
			scoring two goals while Jaylee Swinford (Lincoln, IL), Miriam Lopez 
			(Waukegan, IL), Alexis Beard (Lincoln, IL), Jazmin Herrera 
			(Waukegan, IL), Samantha Shofner (Athens, IL), and Logan Paige 
			(Chicago, IL) each had one goal apiece. Swinford added two assists 
			while Paige and Ward each had one.
 Head coach Syd Baker said of the win, "All around the girls worked 
			hard and earned the win. They have been working hard in practice and 
			they put everything they've been learning to use." Freshman Alexus 
			Nelson-Jones (Springfield, IL) kept the Eagles off the scoreboard 
			with some excellent defensive play.
 
 The win evens the Lynx record at 1-1.
