Despite the recent uptick in goal-scoring, the Lions only managed 7 shots against a good Iowa City-City High team. City High seemed to be a step ahead of the Lions all night, scoring twice in the first half, and capping off their scoring in the second half , while keeping the shutout intact. Final Score 3-0. Linn-Mar ends the season with a record of 9 wins and 10 losses.

Substate competition begins May 21

Posted on May 18, 2018 by Coach Brink

On Monday (5/21), the Lions will travel to Muscatine to play in the opening round of the IAHSAA’s Substate #5 pool. The Lions will play North Scott, at the Muscatine Soccer Complex at 5pm.

Prior to this year, North Scott was a regular member of the Linn-Mar Challenger Cup Tournament; this was the first year they did not participate. Since 2013, Linn-Mar was 3-0 when facing the Lancers, and outscored North Scott, 8-0. But none of that means much when your season is on the line…Expect a hard-fought match by both teams, who want to advance, and get their shot at upsetting the #1 team in the pool, Iowa City-City High.

The University of Iowa will play host to the semifinals and finals on May 23 and May 26, respectively.
