It was the Lancers' first win over Edwardsville since a 2-0 win at home on Sept. 1, 2009, a 17-game string. Combined with a shock 2-1 win over O'Fallon last Thursday, it makes the Lancer 3-0-0 in the league and 5-0-0 overall.
Stinnett scored his first goal of the match after 24 minutes, assisted by Mouhamadou Ba, to give the Lancers a 1-0 halftime lead. Stinnett then doubled the lead right before the hour, as he slotted home a Ba corner to make it 2-0.

Logan Downen had seven saves in goal to record the clean sheet for the Lancers.
