TENNERTON – The Buckhannon-Upshur Lady Buc soccer team was blanked by the visiting Wheeling Park Patriots by a 2-0 score Saturday afternoon in a home contest.
The two teams battled to a scoreless battle in the first half.
Wheeling Park got onto the scoreboard in the 59th minute when Merritt Delk scored on a penalty kick.
Ellie Reasback had Wheeling Park’s second goal to put the game away.
“It was a very physical game,” stated Buckhannon-Upshur head coach Bob Greenough. “We gave up that penalty kick midway through the second half then injuries hindered us for the rest of the game.”
