ALLEGAN – The Dowagiac soccer team blanked host Allegan 2-0 in a Wolverine Conference match Monday night.

The Chieftains scored a goal in each half to defeat the Tigers.

“We played very well and moved the ball despite the downpour and wind during the whole game,” Dowagiac coach Mike Williams said. “Craig Zebell and Americo Martinez did a great job controlling the center of the field and distributing it outside. Jason Turner is improving every day in goal and brings confidence to the team.”

Kasey Proshwitz opened the scoring for the Chieftains in the ninth minute.

In the second half, Andrew Cripe found the back of the net in the 63rd minute.

The Chieftains outshot the Tigers 23-5.
