I'm Phil Knee for WRCO Sports.
The Richland Center Horned Boys soccer team lost last night won nothing against conference
rival Plattville.
The Hornets played an excellent first half with a score being tied after 40 minutes.
The second half, the Hornet Goldkeeper kept the Hillman from scoring multiple times, including
a penalty kick.
It wasn't until the last few minutes of the game that Michael Murphy was able to score,
with just minutes remaining, the Hornets battle of the final whistle coming up short several
times.
The Hornets JV turned the tide and beat Plattville two to one in a real crowd pleaser last night.
Sean Adams with a goal through the defense to score for the Hornets and also Conor
Stoltz out of the second goal, the game winning goal for the Hornets after falling six
nothing at Plattville Lancaster previously.
The junior varsity was able to win two to one for homecoming.
The junior varsity coach by Josh Clark and Jonathan Cronk have now beaten River Valley
Dodgeville and Plattville Lancaster this season.
Those victories promise good things for the future.
With 35 out for the sport, the program has a lot to look forward to.
Hornets acknowledged parents at last night's game and coach Stadler would like to reiterate
his thanks to so many parents that help make Hornets soccer a great program.
They cannot do it without the incredible parental support as well.
So Richson center losing in soccer last night, one to nothing in a very hard fought match.
So last night in soccer, Prairie Dushi and River Ridge, Seneca and Dodgeville Middle
Point tied at two in conference play, McFarlane five nothing over Readsburg and Wisconsin Dells
beat Austin by final of eight nothing at the original center high school fieldhouse last
night.
It was an exciting night as the Hornets played one of their long time rivals.
The server is so way you would here's the serve fielded by who you know can't play it
on its win on its win on the ace from so way you win.
Final score tonight 15 13 what a match has gone to multi.

Danica Paul's led the way with serving and some timely digs.
A team effort for coach Jamie Johnson squad.
The student section, the fans in general were great tonight gave us a lift when we needed
it.
It was you know, we said early on it's like a heavyweight fight and I told the girls
the first that we played very well just they got that little run we're going to get
our counter punches in we're too good not to and we're playing too well and got sets
two and three I was really hoping to get done in four tonight but this is definitely a
memorable homecoming it keeps us in the conference race helps with seeding just so many things
it's a homecoming win that the girls really fought for at the end they the homecoming energy
in the last five minutes is what I think really won that match for us tonight.
Coach Johnson says it was good to get over the time.
They showed Max preps unfortunately put that out there they beat us like nine out of
the last ten times and we've gone a lot of five setters sure is fun to be on the other
side of it especially since we went five down there and had chances you know but this
especially there's just so much all about this team because you know Thursday was probably
the worst we played in conference and then we cleaned it up yester or Saturday and then
a bounce back and take these guys in five is just amazing I'm so I love them all I'm so
proud of them and they just stayed the course they've been some adversity and and I can't
be more proud of them.
He was playbill's first conference loss they fall to six and one the Hornets at five
and two with some big matches coming up.
I think we got a great thing going here we got three more home games I hope the crowd
really comes out because we'll help along the way we could be a conference champ here
that hasn't happened for a while so we got control we can control we got three more home
games and we'd love to see this crowd or this place packed and loud like that was because
that does help the girls.

here is manager Pat Murphy talking about the chance to win last night and the win was taken out
of their sales it was emotional for both teams once it got to be eight four nobody did a thing
but credit to Severino settling down and really getting after it making some great pitches the
reliever came in butto was fantastic and standing was great at the end so credit were credits due
and they had timely hitting they hit the ball where we weren't given credit Murphy says the team
has been resilient all year but they're disappointed you know they're disappointed how this game
went it's it's a big blow because we're in control of the game and in 12 pitches we're not in
controlling it over a misplaying in the outfield what it was a tough ball and then a not cover
first and the inning and then five run score after that you know that's tough to recover from
that's a big blow and Reese Hoskins of the Brewer says they will be ready today obviously you want
to win game one puts a pressure on the other team but we've won two games in a row plenty of times
this season and yeah we've gotten knocked down enough this year but also gotten back up that I think
we're confident you know we have the ability to do that 100 percent we just have to believe that
