After enduring a grueling week of top-notch opponents, the Bellmont Braves were tortured with a week of grueling heat, resulting in a postponed game Wednesday and leaving their NE8 opener with Columbia City as a big unknown.
The Braves responded with their first win of the season and a clean sheet against the Eagles, winning 2-0 to get off to a good start on what feels like the start of the “real” season for coach Steve Lee’s team.
A goal by senior Anna Ruble and a converted PK by Gwen Laurent were exactly what the Braves need to get off on the right foot on the pursuit for another NE8 title.
Both teams will play Norwell for their next fixture, with the Knights playing CC on Saturday and then Bellmont on Tuesday.
Tuesday’s rivalry game between Bellmont and Norwell will be broadcast live on WZBD.
