Lady Tigers Take 2-0 NLC Soccer Win At NorthWood
NAPPANEE – Warsaw’s Brenna Buhrt scored a goal and assisted on Audrey Grimm’s score, leading the Lady Tigers to a 2-0 Northern Lakes Conference win at NorthWood Thursday evening.
The Lady Panthers had a “bend but don’t break” defensive mentality, according to Warsaw coach Jon Hoover. Buhrt scored from about 25 yards out just before halftime, off an assist by Abby Steffensmeier, to give the Lady Tigers a 1-0 advantage.
Buhrt found Grimm for a late insurance goal to seal the win.
“Our girls did a great job grinding out a win tonight. NorthWood is a well-coached squad, and they are going to win a lot of games this year.,” Hoover said. “Our back line did an excellent job of taking Northwood’s attack and playing it into possession.
“Brenna Buhrt was a special player tonight. She worked tirelessly off the ball and made everyone around her better.”
The junior varsity match ended in a 1-1 draw. Tobi Avey scored for Warsaw.
The Lady Tigers improved to 3-2-1 overall and 2-0 in the conference. Warsaw plays an NLC match at Goshen Tuesday.
