The Bluffton University women's soccer team kept Hanover off the scoreboard for nearly 70 minutes, but the Panthers netted two late tallies for the shutout victory. It marked the fewest goals a Hanover women's team has scored against the Beavers since a 1-0 Panther victory in the 2011 HCAC championship match. Bluffton slipped to 2-11 overall and 1-4 in the Heartland Conference, while Hanover improved to 10-3 and 4-1 in the conference.

Senior Brittany Huff (Union/Northmont) ripped three shots for the Beavers, including one on frame. The Panthers finished with a 14-7 edge in shots, including 8-3 on goal. Hanover forced two more corner kicks (5-3) but the visitors whistled for seven more fouls (10-3). Freshman keeper Sienna Sullivan (Columbus/Hilliard Davidson) checked in with five saves for the home team.

Bluffton is back at the Sears Complex on Wednesday, Oct. 18 when Anderson University comes to town. Kickoff is slated for 3:30 p.m. Come out and support your Beavers!
