Soccer

Lincolnview 2 Lima Sr. 2

LIMA — The Lancers and Lima Sr. played to a 2-2 draw at Spartan Stadium, with freshman Jackson Evans scoring one of Lincolnview’s goals with an assist by Ethan Crow.

The second goal was an unusual one and happened when Landon Moody tossed a deep throw into the 18-yard box and it bounced off a Lima Sr. player into the goal.

Lincolnview (0-1-1) will host Miller City on Thursday.
