Bears edge Braves to stay unbeaten

0

The Olentangy Berlin boys soccer team, eighth in the most recent OSSCA Division I state poll, continued its hot start to the season with a 1-0 league win over host Olentangy Tuesday night in Lewis Center.

The Bears, who improved to 7-0-1 with the win, held a slight edge in possession for much of the first half, but the Braves’ backline didn’t allow much in terms of scoring chances.

Mason Morris had the first good look of the game about 15 minutes in, but Olentangy keeper Tommy Chilicki made a point-blank save on a shot from a tough angle.

Morris got another chance late in the first half, though, beating Chilicki with a laser into the upper corner off a transition feed from Will Harrington.

The Berlin defense took care of the rest, limiting Olentangy to just four shots, all of which Connor Sexton saved to preserve the shutout.
