Gallery update: Hurst scores twice, but Bucs fall to Musselman

Ryan Hurst scored twice but the Buckhannon-Upshur High School soccer Buccaneers dropped a tight 3-2 decision to Musselman on Saturday.

The game started in sweltering sunshine but was delayed briefly at halftime as a storm moved through, leaving in its wake… sweltering sunshine.

The Bucs mounted a furious attack after falling behind 3-1, and Hurst’s second goal only increased their intensity up front. But Musselman — coached by former West Virginia Wesleyan College assistant Keith Moran — held firm to give the visitors their second win in as many days. The Applemen defeated Elkins Friday night.

The defeat drops B-U to 6-3 on the season. Every loss has come by a single goal, while every win has been by a margin of five or more. The Bucs will be on the road at Grafton on Tuesday before returning home to host Lincoln on Thursday.
