MIDDLE POINT- The Lincolnview Lancers took on the Lima Central Catholic Thunderbirds in boys soccer on Tuesday night at Lincolnview High School. It was a hard-fought match for both teams that resulted in a 2-0 victory for LCC.
The first half was an even match between both teams, as neither could score a goal. Both teams were evenly-matched on the offensive end, as Lincolnview had six shots-on-goal and the Thunderbirds had seven.
Both teams’ play were led by their goalkeepers: Mark Evans for Lincolnview and Ben Stechschulte for the Thunderbirds.
The Lancers had the best opportunities to score a goal in the first half when both Kade Carey and Nick Leeth made runs at Stechschulte but he bested them both times and keep the match scoreless.
The second half started out with more of the same from both squads. Lincolnview got the ball to start the second but a more aggressive LCC came out and dominated time of possession.
