Bentworth girls suffer first loss; TJ girls roll over AG

By JEREMY SELLEW 

The Bentworth girls suffered their first loss of the season Wednesday, dropping a close 1-0 decision to host Chartiers-Houston in a Section 2-1A contest.

The Bucs (6-2, 4-1) picked up the lone goal of the game in the waning minutes of the first half after a high-bouncing ball found its way behind Bearcats keeper Nita Anderson.

“Both sides were really up for the game. Both teams traded some momentum and possession. I felt like we had a great first half,” Bentworth coach Tyler Hamstra said. “Neither team had many great chances and I felt like the game would be decided on something like that.

“Soccer is a tough game, you don’t always get what you deserve from it.”

After having their six-game winning streak snapped, the Bearcats will look to start another one tonight at home when they host Ringgold.
