Patriots defeat Delta (09/15/04)
JCHS Roundup
MUNCIE — The Jay County girls soccer team took some heartbreaking losses early in the year, and hadn’t won a game outside of the Olympic Athletic Conference. It turned everything around with a sweet win Tuesday.
The Patriots topped Delta 3-2, scoring the first win over the Eagles in the eight-year history of the program.
Jay County (3-3-1) held a 2-0 lead, but Delta scored twice to tie the game with less than 10 minutes left on the clock. Then it was time for a senior to deliver.
With time winding down Jamie Bruggeman burst down the middle of the field for a score. Her goal with 5:31 remaining would stand as the game-winner as the Patriots finally broke through against Delta.
The first half of Tuesday’s game ended in a scoreless tie, but Bruggeman got the scoring started quickly in the second half. She took a pass from Sara Garringer and put the ball in the net less than three minutes after the intermission.
Five minutes later Garringer notched another assist, hitting freshman Abby Loy with a pass which led to her first career goal.
The Eagles scored twice to even the game before Bruggeman gave Jay County the historic win.
Jay County will be in action again today against sectional rival Bellmont at home at 4:30 p.m.
