Batesville boys traveled to South Dearborn and won 3-0 in a conference match against the Knights. Eli Pierson netted all three goals for the Bulldogs. BHS coach Kyle Hunteman noted the game took place on the turf which was an adjustment for the Bulldogs, and the wet conditions made the game fast and slippery. South Dearborn played aggressively with an all-out attack, but Batesville shut them down and denied access to the goal.
The first goal of the game was scored by Pierson with an assist from Grant Peters.
“During the second half, Batesville focused on playing their game of possession and started to take control of the ball,” said Hunteman.
Ian Carpenter found Pierson in the box for the second goal as he dribbled through the defense and shot. Finally, Pierson completed his hat trick with an assist from Owen Powers.
In a single half played by the JV, Batesville won 1-0 as Thomas Hartman provided the only scoring.
