The Lipscomb men’s soccer team took a commanding 4-1 victory over Houston Baptist on Wednesday night in their regular season home opener.
The Bisons got out to a quick start thanks to a leaping header from junior Anthony Cedano in the 15th minute. Freshman Ivan Alvarado got the assist off of a long, arching cross.
In the 23rd minute, senior Omar Djabi rocketed in a shot from outside the box to give Lipscomb a 2-0 lead.
After thwarting away many attempts from the Huskies, Lipscomb finally allowed a goal in the 31st minute from Houston Baptist sophomore Tobenna Uzo. The Bisons ended the first half with a 2-1 lead.
In the second half, Alvarado scored off an assist from Djabi in the 74th minute, giving each player both a goal and an assist for the game.
Less than two minutes later Lipscomb earned a penalty kick. The Bisons sent senior Luke Gearin to the penalty spot, and he knocked in the fourth and final goal of the game.
