During the second game against Omaha Northwest at 11 a.m., the Links finished 3-1 scoring once in the first half and coming back in the second half scoring two goals. “Simon [Joseph] scored early on to give us a 1-0 lead,” Mendez said, “They came back at us and scored, so we had to pull through the rest of the game.” Junior captain, Simon Joseph scored 3 goals on Saturday, with two during the game against Omaha North and one against Omaha Northwest.
