The Batesville Bulldogs Soccer team traveled for an away game against the Jennings County Panthers winning 2-1. The game started off with good ball possession from Batesville and fast physical play from Jennings County on their fast turf field. Ten minutes into the game Miles Bowser had the ball in the midfield and connected with Michael Ripperger for a 1-2 pass to break the defense and give Bowser the space for a shot on goal to score. The half continued with a fight for possession and strong physical play that ended 1-0. Second half went on much the same, until 18:41 on the clock Michael Ripperger dribbled in from the wing and took a shot from wide which was deflected from the keeper and Johnathan Lynch crashed goal and took a one touch shot to the net. The Panthers continued to threaten the score and with one minute remaining, an opposing forward broke through and a miscommunication led to a goal. The final score ended with a 2-1 Win for Batesville.
