GU struck first with a goal just over five
minutes into the contest, however, Lincoln’s Adrian Roman
(Waukegan) was able to even the score with an unassisted goal
just before the first half ended.
The Lynx did not wait long after the start of the second half to
grab the lead on a goal by junior Ignacio Ximenez (Gwinnett, GA)
at the 47:00 minute mark. Adrian Roman was credited with the
assist. Lincoln was able to add on a third goal in the 80th
minute when junior Abdoulaye Sylla (Moline) scored off an assist
from fellow junior Tajay Small (Kingston, Jamacia).
LC Coach Ben Massena took a lot of positives away from the win.
“It’s always fun to start off your home season with a win,” said
Massena. “We had a lot of good looks at the goal in this one and
made smart choices defensively. It was a solid team effort.”
Lincoln will try to make it two-in-a-row on Friday evening when
they take on Lyon College at 5:00 PM in Canton, Illinois. The
match is part of an event hosted by Culver-Stockton College.
