Game Recap: Men's Soccer | | Zach Freeman

Lancers Top Chargers

The Lancaster Bible College men's soccer team saw its season end on Saturday at the hands of Grace College (Ind.) as the Lancers topped the Chargers, 7-1 in the NCCAA Division I Midwest Region Quarterfinals in Winona Lake, Ind. Lancaster Bible ends its season with an overall record of 10-11, while Grace improves to 8-7-3.

How it Happened: Grace controlled play for much of the game, but the teams remained scoreless for the opening 20 minutes. The Lancers got on the board at 22:49 as Damon Binkley scored and Grace added two more goals later in the half to take a 3-0 lead at the break.

Grace scored just over two minutes into the second half to make it 4-0 and eventually took a 6-0 lead at the 85:15 mark. Lancaster Bible finally got on the board three minutes later as Justin Stoltzfus jumped on a rebound from Marco Patz's penalty kick try to give the Chargers their lone goal. Patz's try was saved by Grace goalkeeper Robbie Barnhill, but the rebound came right out to a charging Stolzfus, who scored into a wide open net. 

The Lancers added another late goal to produce the 7-1 victory.

By the Numbers: Grace outshot the Chargers, 24-5, including 18-3 in shots on goal...The Lancers had six corner kicks, while Lancaster Bible did not have any...Stoltzfus' goal was his third of the season...Junior Vann Sutphin made four saves in goal, while fellow junior Thiago Naque made one save.

The Coach Says: "We got it handed to us by a tough team today," Lancaster Bible Head Coach Tom Ardt said. "We got outplayed in most phases of the game, but good can come out of this one if we let it fuel us for the offseason. "Good luck to Grace as they move onto the semifinals. We are excited for next season and the development that we will go through between now and next fall."

Information Hodge Podge: This was the first meeting between the two schools...This was the third straight season the Chargers have won 10 or more games...The loss drops the Chargers below .500 and this is the first time since 2013 the Chargers will finish the season below the .500 mark.
