GUYNN'S LATE GOAL POWERS KNIGHTS TO VICTORY OVER CIA

April 5- Sophomore Cody Guynn broke a scoreless tie late in second half, scoring a goal to lead LCA to a 1-0 victory. Guynn received a pass from teammate Ian Knight and knocked the ball into the left corner of the goal past the CIA keeper. The goal came with less than ten minutes left to go in the game. LCA missed on a penalty kick and several shots on goal in the second half before finally breaking through.

Junior Nick Johnson made his second start in goal and rebounded from an earlier 6-0 loss to Christian Community. Johnson made nine saves in recording the first shut-out of the season for Lancaster.

LCA improves to 2-2 on the season, following a loss to Franklin Classical. The Knights will host conference powers Aaron Academy and White House Christian next week at Smyrna Elementary. Both games will begin at 4:00. The middle school team will open their season next week with Sumner Academy.
