Seymour girls soccer bounces back

In a dramatic turnaround from an off day over the weekend, the Owls girls soccer team shut down and shut out Jennings County, 2-0, only days after falling 7-0 to East Central.

Haley Westfall and Alyssa Perry scored a goal each for Seymour to raise its overall record to 8-2-1 and 4-0 in the Hoosier Hills Conference. Westfall also added an assist, as did Addi Chandler.

"Jennings had a game plan for us and executed it well for 40 minutes," said Seymour coach Greg Musser. "They were defensive minded and our girls were patient, but could put one home in the first half. We challenged them after halftime to break them down defensively."
