Stanton Secures Victory, Leaving Lincoln Behind

Stanton put on a dominant display at Great Park on Saturday, securing a 4-0 victory against Lincoln, with Francesco De Marco leading the charge and continuing his incredible run in the USCAA league.

The Elks took control of the game early, with De Marco opening the scoring. His clinical finish came off a well-executed assist from Janick Moller, setting the tone for what would become a commanding performance. The Stanton offense, clicking on all cylinders, found its second goal through fellow Italian Matteo Sala, who added to Lincoln's growing woes.

Lincoln's chances took a turn for the worse when an own-goal by one of their defenders further padded Stanton's lead. With the Elks sitting comfortably ahead, Lincoln struggled to mount any kind of serious counterattack.

As the game neared its conclusion, Stanton was awarded a penalty, and De Marco stepped up confidently. His second goal of the night sealed the 4-0 win and marked his 16th of the season, solidifying his place as one of the top scorers in the USCAA league.

Stanton's victory was never in doubt, as they controlled possession and created the better chances throughout. The team's solid defense, combined with De Marco's continued goal-scoring prowess, ensured that Lincoln had little opportunity to challenge the Elks.

With this emphatic result, Stanton continues to prove themselves as one of the league's premier teams, while Lincoln will be left to reflect on a tough day at Great Park.
