Monday’s girls soccer match between Seymour and Madison ended the same way it started, in a 0-0 tie.

Owls coach Greg Musser credited his team with a strong performance.

“We had a solid effort,” he said. “We had our opportunities. We played too much on our heels in the second half.”

Musser said Seymour’s best chance to score came on two breakaways by Kenzi Henkle, one in each half.

“She has worked hard and showed us a lot in practice,” he said.

This was the final home match for Seymour seniors Trueblood, Cheyanne Givens, Ashlyn Henderson, Rachel Lenart, Avery Musgrave, Allison Rodriguez, Alondra Zamora, Elise Hartung, Sam Cardenas and Claire Marshall.
