TENNERTON – In a defensive battle, the Buckhannon-Upshur soccer Lady Bucs and the Bridgeport Indians battled to a 0-0 deadlock in a Big 10 Conference battle Tuesday evening at the high school.
The Lady Bucs did win the battle of the stat sheet, owning a 5-2 margin in corner kicks and a 4-0 lead in corner kicks.
“We played extremely well defensively in all positions and did not give them room to make anything happen,” stated Buckhannon-Upshur head coach Jason Piacente. “I was very happy with the intensity and effort given by our team tonight. It was a hard-fought game until the end.”
