Knapp had an incredible Senior Night with three goals.

Schaefer and Massena each had two goals.

The Lady Railers also raised money through raffle baskets as Kick Cancer was the theme of the night.

The team also held a toy drive in honor of Emma Welp. The Welp family will donate the toys to children with cancer. Emma passed away in 2021 and she was the granddaughter of Harold and Jean Boyer of Lincoln.

At halftime of the soccer game, players and coaches from the Lincoln FC soccer club were announced on the track. There are 88 kids playing youth soccer in Lincoln.
