COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) - In Branch County high school sports, yesterday’s schedule in baseball, softball and girl’s tennis was rained out but they still competed in girl’s soccer along with boy’s golf and track.
Last night in soccer, Coldwater was on the road to face 7th-ranked Marshall and the host Redhawks turned up the offensive pressure in the second half on their way to a 4-to-0 victory over the visiting Lady Cardinals. Marshall was up just 1-to-0 at the half, scoring at the 31 minute mark on a breakaway goal. They added their second goal 5 minutes into the second half. Their last two goals came at the 28 and 18minute marks. Shelby Bowers made 6 saves in goal as the record for Coldwater fell to 1-6-and-1 overall and 0-and-4 in the SMAC East.
In last night’s j-v match, Marshall beat Coldwater 9-to-1. Tomorrow, Coldwater will host Battle Creek Central for Parent's Night.
Also last night in girl’s soccer, Quincy visited Blissfield in a conference contest that ended in a scoreless tie with the match being called with 5 minutes to go due to the wet weather and darkness. Quincy, which outshot Blissfield 18-to-12, is now 7-0-and-2 and 3-0-and-1 in conference play.
Yesterday in boy’s golf, Coldwater played in the opening round of the SMAC League meet at the Island Hills Golf Course and the Cardinals finished in 8th place out of 16 teams.
