By Times-Union Staff Report-

The Warsaw boys soccer team opened the season against Elkhart Central with a tie Wednesday night at the CCAC. The Tigers and Chargers played to a 0-0 stalemate.

Warsaw goal keeper Scott Stouder defended the Tiger goal and knocked away five shots on goal. In all, the Tigers got six shots at the Elkhart Central goal, but could not get past the Charger keeper.

Sweeper back Kyle Masur, defender Ben Stephens and midfielder Tim Zentz led the Tiger team.

"I think in the first half our team was shocked by the game speed," said Warsaw coach Scott Bauer. "Our scrimmage at Kokomo was a much slower paced game. In the second half, we made good adjustments and leveled the playing field."

The Tigers, now 0-0-1, will play at Marion next Thursday.
