The undefeated Northrop Bruins lived up to the billing Thursday night, attacking the Bellmont Braves with physicality, fouls and plenty of gamesmanship in a 4-0 victory on FWCS turf on the north side of Fort Wayne. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bruins were whistled for 17 fouls and made the Braves earn every inch throughout the 40 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two teams were deadlocked until the 20th minute, when Elley Tedeschi put the Bruins (now 8-0) in the lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kailyn McCarel made it 2-0 with twelve minutes to go in the half and the Braves faced a big deficit in the halftime talk from coach Skaggs and coach Lee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game continued its physicality into the second half as the temperatures dropped and the rain stopped.

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Braves committed a foul in the box on Violeta Fuentes and she converted the penalty at 70′ to make it 3-0 and the Bruins finished it off minutes later with a second from Tedeschi, who the Braves felt fouled Maya Schlemmer in the buildup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Braves will try to bounce back Saturday morning with a clash against rival Canterbury at the BHS soccer stadium. They’ll then travel to Ruoff Mortgage Stadium in Fort Wayne to take on Leo for a match that can be heard on WZBD, 92.7 FM. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
