POLAND TAKES ROUND ONE AGAINST RAIDERS

POLAND, Ohio, The Poland Bulldogs played host to the South Range Raiders in an early season clash of two of the premier programs in the NE8. Both teams came into tonight’s matchup looking for their first win on the season.

Poland’s offensive attack came out firing early and often in the first half, but through a majority of it, South Range goalkeeper Hannah Ball did a good job of keeping the Bulldogs at bay. Then, a goal by Freshman Kennedy Henderson opened up the Poland offense and gave the group a collective confidence boost. Goals also added by Kailyn Assion and Sophia Generalovich gave the Bulldogs a 3-0 lead heading into halftime.

One more goal by Generalovich in the second half gave Poland a 4-0 lead, the score they would win by as the game was eventually called a few minutes later due to inclement weather with just over 20 minutes remaining in the second half. The Bulldogs move to 1-1 on the season, while South Range drops to 0-3-1.
