Bull Dogs Boys Soccer Grind Out Win

In a tense Conference Indiana clash, Columbus North edged Bloomington North 2-1 behind late heroics. Jonah Sipes opened the scoring early, and with the game tied late, Edgar Ibarra Diaz’s mis-hit cross took a lucky bounce into the net for the winner.

The Dogs put nine shots on frame and leaned on keeper Nicolas De Linnan Palacios, who made four saves. While the bounce may have been fortunate, North created the pressure that made their luck possible.

For a team still finding its identity with new faces, the Bull Dogs showed Thursday they already have the grit to compete and the bite to win tight matches.
