Knights Fail to
Overcome Currey Ingram in MTAC Tourney
May 5 - On
Tuesday, the LCA Knights soccer season came to a close. Due to
unforeseen reasons, the Lancaster Knights fielded only eleven players on
Tuesday, with several key players out. After the game, first year coach
James Derrick said, "It's too bad. We really deserved to win. Rarely do
I chalk up wins to luck, but I sincerely, wholeheartedly believe that
luck determined the outcome of our game. We played our hearts out for 80
whole minutes with only eleven players. Our guys and girls deserve to
walk out of that stadium with their heads held high." Even though this
had been LCA's best soccer season ever, the lack of substitutions wore
out the Lancaster players and gave Currey Ingram a great advantage. The
game started out all Currey Ingram, taking an early 2-0 lead. Lancaster
came back though and had it all tied up 2-2 by the half. After the half,
LCA, still playing their same starters, wouldn't compete with the fresh
legs of Currey Ingram. After a goal early in the second half, and a
successful penalty kick, Currey Ingram sealed the 4-2 victory. The
players and coaches are now already looking towards next season, trying
to figure out a way to build off of this breakout season for Lancaster
soccer. |
