LEWISTOWN — Mifflin County welcomed the Shippensburg Greyhounds for a primetime boys soccer matchup with good weather conditions early. But both teams later in the game battled with far from ideal weather conditions as Ship earned a 5-0 road win.

Mifflin County played a strong first 35 minutes as they remained locked at zero, Mifflin County had good looks early from Zach Keller and RJ Miller but the Huskies couldn’t turn those looks into goals in part due to the Greyhounds’ superb defense.

The first score of the game would come with five minutes to go in the opening half as it would come off the foot of junior Seth Hepler. Shippensburg wouldn’t be satisfied with a loner; they would add another goal right before intermission; this time it would come from the senior Gage Sauserman. He would have a pair of goals on the night in the Greyhounds’ shutout win.

Huskies coach Keith Yoder said, “Shippensburg is a really quality team and we do have our struggles with them admittedly. I honestly thought that we played pretty well at times but the scoreboard just doesn’t reflect it tonight. We definitely had some mental breakdowns so we need to clean those things up because we have a tough game Thursday and we’re looking to finish the season strong here so we need to rebound off of this.”

The Greyhounds showed that they could do it all at the 14:27 mark. Shippensburg would score on a corner catching the Huskies off guard as Will Clough would be credited with the goal.

Mifflin County (7-5) would allow four goals in the second half as Greyhounds’ senior Newell Brenize would have a good look late as he would capitalize, being able to get one past MC goalie Jack Suydam for the Greyhounds’ fifth goal of the night in what was an offense explosion for the Greyhounds following intermission despite both teams battling the elements in the final five minutes of play.

The Huskies visit Boiling Springs at 4 p.m. Thursday.
