Sean Lynes Jr. was at it again with yet another 4-goal game to lead the Indians to a Wednesday win at home over Riverside Military Academy by a 6-2 final. The Indians were up 5-0 at the break, with the outcome barely in question.
One of Lynes’ goals was a beautiful shot outside the 18 to the opposite upper corner. Austin Ball also scored in the first half, while Giovanni Ramirez scored the lone second-half goal.
“Overall, the guys played tough tonight against a much-stronger and athletic RMA,” said coach Jeremy Stille. “We played very well against their press in the first half, seizing our opportunities on goal, but struggled in the second half conceding two early goals.”
Those goals narrowed the deficit to 5-2 before Ramirez’s goal off a Clay Kasky assist provided insurance.
“It was a good win to get back into the groove of games as we head into region play for the next nine games to fight for a playoff spot in the state tournament,” adds Stille.
Lynes led with four goals and added an assist. It marked the third hat trick for Lynes this season.
Ball had a goal and two assists, while Ramirez had a goal and Kafsky chipped in an assist.
The Indians are 5-1-1 and return to the pitch on Friday at Loganville Christian. The Lady Indians play at 5 p.m. with the boys game at 7 p.m.
Both teams are home against George Walton Academy on Monday night at the same times.
