Shoes Blank Bulldogs in Thursday Soccer

Teutopolis blanked St. Anthony 5-0 in a Thursday home match. 

Teutopolis goals were scored by Joe Niebrugge, Gavin Tegeler, Ethan Thoele, Ryder Vahling and Josh Habing. Gavin Tegeler had the team's two assists.

For St. Anthony, Coach Martin Reyes said, "I'm very proud of our team today. The score doesn't reflect the defensive effort we had. In the first half it was 1-0, and Teutopolis scored two goals in the last 15 minutes of the game. We need to work on endurance, but the team played a good defensive team." Bulldog Senior Pierce Verdeyen had 18 saves.
