FROM TUESDAY

BOYS SOCCER

Greencastle stings Mifflin County in OT

LEWISTOWN — Mifflin County boys soccer suffered a 2-1 overtime loss to Greencastle-Antrim (4-9) on Tuesday evening.

The Blue Devils outshot MC, 8-7. Each team had four corners and six saves.

JV Huskies lost to Antrim, 4-0.

Mifflin County assistant coach Todd Peters said, “The first 30 minutes was a battle. Both teams were finding each other out and there were some end-to-end bursts. With 10 minutes left in the first half, Jace Bagrosky slotted a nice ball to Zach Keller to control and deposit for a 1-0 lead for us going into the half. A high offside trap line became tough for us to conquer in the second half.

“We did a little too much dribbling in the middle when we should have tried some more deliveries over the top with timed runs. They shortened the field and got the tying goal with six minutes left. As we began overtime we had some runs and opportunities but they got a pass slipped behind and a foul was committed to give them a PK to finish with 1:38 left in overtime number one. We acknowledged it does and should sting our boys but we also want them to use this the right way going into their practice tomorrow and their next match Thursday with West Perry. Heartbreaking matches like this are tough, but if our guys know they have given their full 100% effort, we can use it to make us a better team.”

The Huskies (7-7) host West Perry (4-6-1) today at 7 p.m.
