Addi Chandler and Haley Westfall scored goals in the second half to break a 0-0 tie to lift the Seymour girls soccer team to an opening-game road victory over Batesville Saturday afternoon.
After the scoreless first half, Chandler gave the Owls the lead and Westfall added the clincher. Kylee Nowling received assists on both goals.
The Saturday afternoon contest was played in very hot conditions and coach Greg Musser said the field conditions were challenging.
"We battled through some tough conditions with the heat and grass that was long," Musser said. "The girls played for one another and with the adjustments made for the second half we were able to take control of the game."
Musser was encouraged by the win and what it may mean for this season.
"Batesville is always a tough opponent and it is always satisfying to get the W against them," he said. "I was so proud of our girls’ resolve today and cannot wait to see what they can do this season."
The Owls play at Salem this afternoon.
