Lindsey Wilson Men's Soccer Team 1 win away from 9th title

By Chris Wells

ORANGE BEACH, AL -- The Lindsey Wilson College men's soccer team is one win away from the program's ninth NAIA national title.

The No. 2-seed Blue Raiders meet top-seeded Hastings (NE.) College in tonight's national championship match at the Orange Beach Sportsplex (4389 Pub Works Road), Orange Beach, AL.) Kickoff is scheduled for 7pmCT.Lindsey Wilson won titles in 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2005 and 2009. The latter came against The Master's (CA) College in Fresno, CA. The Blue Raiders have won three of their titles in Alabama - two in Birmingham and one in Mobile.



Hastings won the 2010 national title 5-3 over Notre Dame (OH) College last season in Orange Beach. The Broncos finished with a 25-0 record en route to the title.

Tonight's match is the first championship game to feature the tournament's top two seeds since the 2001 tournament when No. 1-seed Lindsey Wilson beat second-seeded Auburn University Montgomery (AL) 4-0 in Bowling Green, KY.

Lindsey Wilson (22-0) advanced to the title match after beating No. 3-seed Baker (KY) University 2-0 in last night's second semifinal. The Blue Raiders scored a goal in each half and shut out a Baker who had not been held scoreless all season.

Hastings (24-1-1) advanced to its second straight championship game with a 2-1 win over No. 13-seed William Carey (MS) University in Friday's first semifinal. The Broncos are defending NAIA national champions.

The two teams meet for just the second time. Lindsey Wilson defeated Hastings 5-0 in Columbia during the 2004 season.

Both teams enter the title game with unbeaten records in the final match of the season. Lindsey Wilson is 8-0 in its previous championship matches while Hastings is 1-0 in the finals.

Kickoff is set for 7pmCT. The game can be purchased at www.WatchNAIA.com. Live stats are also available at DakStats.
