A first-half goal from David Pope stood up as Raymond-Lincolnwood defeated Metro East Lutheran 1-0 in Edwardsville Wednesday.
The Knights fell to 1-2 on the season with the loss; they will be taking part in the Boys Metro Cup tournament beginning today in Columbia.
“They scored the one shot about 20 to 25 yards out that had a slight deflection and went in,” Enke said. “The kids played a good match and started playing the way I know they can play. They were the team I saw in the summer and I want to be this season.”
Enke stressed that Metro East Lutheran only lost one senior from last year and has a host of returnees. “We have five solid subs and really good depth,” he said. “One of the things I am excited about is we will not be pressured to have each player out there the whole game.”
Metro East Lutheran is playing the remaining part of the week in the Metro Cup Tournament.
