Moore leads Beavers

Maddie Moore has been among the Beavers’ leaders in shots on goal all season. Now she’s cashing them in.
The 2009 South Adams High School graduate has scored two goals in each of the Bluffton University women’s soccer team’s last two games, including a pair in the second half Wednesday in a 4-0 victory at Anderson.
After the Beavers built a 2-0 lead at halftime over Anderson, Moore’s first shot of the second half was saved by Kelsie Strand. But she came back at the 57:30 mark to score her fifth goal of the season. The senior scored again just eight minutes later off of an assist from Megan Moreo.
Moore also had two of Bluffton’s three goals Saturday in a 4-3 loss to Earlham. She tied the score with a goal less than 10 minutes into the game, and gave the Beavers (3-7-1) the lead when she found the net again with less than two minutes remaining in the first half.
She is second on the team with six goals this season.
