COLUMBIA Ky. - The No. 18-ranked Lindsey Wilson men's soccer team capped off its final home regular season match with a 1-0 victory over Union (Ky.) on Saturday night at Ray Wells Field inside Walter S. Reuling Stadium.
The Blue Raiders (7-4-1) outshot the Bulldogs (10-3-0) 18-13, marking the most shots by Lindsey Wilson in a game this season.

Lindsey Wilson started the game off with a bang. In the second minute of the game, Macon dribbled on the right side and took a shot, which was saved by Union goalkeeper Tommy Dymott, but the ball ricocheted and found Caciedo, who scored the only goal of the game.
The Blue Raiders spent the rest of the first half dominating possession and limiting the Bulldogs on offense. Union Commonwealth was unable to record a shot on goal in the first half.
Union Commonwealth's first shot on goal came in the 57th minute, but Garcia was able to keep the Bulldogs from tying the game up. The Bulldogs had two more opportunities in the 67th and 87th minute but were denied both times by Garcia.
