"This was our best offensive shooting of the season," LC coach Dennis West said. "We moved the ball well, and our defense continues to improve."
Against EB on Sept. 15, LC scored once, with 12:03 left in the first half off the foot of Scott as he beat the defense off a dribble.
Scoring for EB were Lawson (two goals) and Handra.
LC out-shot the Warriors 17-14.
"The team played hard but allowed Eastern too many opportunities," West said. "We continue to play inconsistent soccer. The breakdowns are growing less frequently but still will cost us against quality opponents."
LC will play again on Wednesday at home when they host Ripley.
