HOW IT HAPPENED
It took over a half hour, but Adrian was able to open the scoring in the 31st minute when junior Garrett Miller found the back of the net off of a feed from senior Tad Davis. Davis took advantage of a Bluffton turnover in the defensive end and sent a pass on the ground across the middle to Miller who finished into the wide open net. The Bulldogs would take the 1-0 lead with them into the half.
The Bulldogs doubled their lead in the 64th minute on a goal from junior Dayton Rush. Davis and Garrett Miller played the ball into the box where Rush was able to score off a rebound through heavy traffic for the goal.
Senior Brandon Katona finished the scoring the Bulldogs by netting his second goal in as many games in the 89th minute. Freshman Robbie Precious played a long, high, ball towards the box from midfield to Katona. Katona took the ball off his chest and dribbled past his defender and unleashed a cannon from outside the box for the score.
