The Greensburg Lady Pirates soccer team hosted EIAC foe South Dearborn and lost to the Lady Knights 3-1.
The loss drops the Lady Pirates to 1-1 on the season and 0-1 in EIAC play.
The Lady Knights got on the board 3 minutes into the game and added
another goal around the 21 minute mark to take a 2-0 lead to halftime.
Seven minutes into the second half the visitors added their third goal. Maddi Hellmich notched her second goal of the season with 20 minutes to play to put the Lady Pirates on the board. Hellmich had 4 shots on goal for the game to lead the Lady Pirates. Sierra Aylsworth, Brooke Martin and Stephanie Bruns also had shots on goal. McKella Lynette tallied 12 saves from shots on goal on the evening.
The Lady Knights took another 15-20 shots that were not on frame. The
defensive line and midfielders did a nice job all night of slowing down South Dearborn’s runs and pressuring their shots off target.
In the JV half after the varsity contest, the Lady Pirates fell 4-0.
Brooke Martin and Tess Luers each had shots on goal while Emily Lowe had 15 saves from shots on goal.
The JV had an outstanding effort with multiple ladies playing their first soccer match ever.
The team will be in action Saturday morning as they host Union County at 10AM.
The boys’ soccer team will play after the girls with a noon kickoff.
