Thursday evening, the Batesville Boys Soccer team traveled to Rushville high school for a conference match winning 3-1.
After the JV Bulldogs won their game, the varsity squad was very ready to come out and play well as a unit. Within the first minute after the starting whistle, Ian Powers played a ball wide to Zach Harmeyer. Zach sprinted down the left wing, cut in, beating his man 1v1 and then shot inside post for the first goal. With 4 minutes 39 seconds, Zach challenged and won a 50/50 midfield and then sprinted to goal for a quick counter to finish.
Second half within the first minute the Bulldogs defense fouled and Rushville took a long shot chipping the keeper for their first goal. 25 Minutes 31 seconds remaining Ian Powers played a long through ball into Eli Pierson. Eli sprinted onto the ball as the keeper came out to challenge and he took a left foot finish around the keeper.
