GEORGETOWN Ky. - The No. 11-ranked Lindsey Wilson men's soccer team finished conference play with a 3-0 victory over Georgetown (Ky.) 3-0 on Saturday afternoon at Toyota Stadium in Georgetown, Kentucky.
The Blue Raiders (8-4-1, 4-1-1 MSC) outshot the Tigers (4-8-3, 0-4-1 MSC) 20-10 and held a 10-3 advantage in shots on goal. Denilson Macon and Andrew Tomlinson both scored, while Tyson Ndlovu joined Macon in recording an assist. Zahir Garcia had three saves and recorded his fifth clean sheet of the season.
Lindsey Wilson were the aggressors in the first half by getting two shots off in the first two minutes of the game. In the 24th minute, a quick transition from the Blue Raiders caught the Georgetown goalkeeper out of position and Macon was able to put one in the goal to put the Blue Raiders up 1-0.
Macon scored his third goal of the season and recorded a goal in three of his last five games.
The Blue Raiders enter halftime with a 1-0 lead. They did not allow a shot in the entire first half, marking the first time all season the Blue Raiders held an opponent shotless in a half.
At the start of the second half, the Tigers took a shot on a free kick that resulted in Garcia recording his first save of the game. In the 65th minute, an offensive attack by the Blue Raiders resulted in an own goal when a Georgetown defender cleared the ball into his own net, giving Lindsey Wilson a 2-0 lead.
In the 81st minute, Tomlinson had a shot that went wide right. One minute later, he scored off a pass from Macon, giving the Blue Raiders a 3-0 lead. This marks Tomlinson's first goal in his collegiate career.
With the win, Lindsey Wilson is guaranteed second place in the Mid-South Conference and can clinch first place with a Cumberland (Tenn.) loss or draw in their match against Campbellsville (Ky.) next Saturday.
The Blue Raiders return to action with a road trip against Georgia Gwinnett in Lawrenceville, Georgia on Wednesday, Oct. 21 at 11 a.m.
