BOYS SOCCER
WARSAW 2, MARION 2
Thursday in Marion
The Warsaw boys soccer team traveled to Marion Thursday evening and played the Giants to a 2-2 stalemate. Poor field conditions forced the Tigers to make several adjustments to their game plan. "The poor conditions of the playing field and its extremely small size really hurt our passing game," said Warsaw coach Scott Bauer. "It ended up being more of a kickball game than a soccer game." Marion jumped out to a 2-0 lead, but Warsaw fought back in the second period to tie the score at two with goals from Mark Grossnickle and Adam Hodge. "The guys showed real character in the way they came back in the second half," said Bauer. It wasn't pretty, but they guys played with character." Warsaw is now 0-0-2 and will play at South Bend Riley Tuesday.
