(KALIDA) - The boys soccer team picked up a much needed win at Kalida Tuesday evening by a 3-0 count.  As tournament time nears, the Pirates are looking to build momentum for the postseason.  With a tie and a draw in their most recent matches, Bluffton had not won a match since September 27.  

Luke Young got the scoring started tonight when he dropped a corner kick into the penalty box and it caromed into the net just four minutes into the match. No further goals were scored until the second 40'. 

Isaiah Schwab took a long pass from Matt Daws and finished it to push the lead to 2-0 at the 55' mark.  Andrew Lovett passed to Jonathan Schriner for the final goal of the evening. 

Bluffton held a 10-7 advantage in shots with Pirate keeper Dakota Clymer coming up with 7 saves. Bluffton is now 9-2-4 while Kalida falls to 6-3-6.
