PENDLETON HEIGHTS LOSES 2nd STRAIGHT SHOOTOUT
The Pendleton Heights Arabians boys’ varsity soccer lost to the Shelbyville Golden Bears, 2-1 in a league contest.
Pendleton Heights nearly played the spoiler role, taking conference co-leader Shelbyville to a shootout before coming up short. In what has become a typical defensive and low-scoring match for the Arabians, the two teams were locked in a scoreless tie at half time.
Shelbyville scored just minutes into the second half, but Pendleton Heights evened the match at 1 on a penalty kick by Kyle Eby after Shelbyville committed a foul within the 7-yard line.
The rest of the half was marred by fouls, yellow cards and one red card and neither team could put the ball in the net.
During the shootout, Kyle Eby and Kevin Mellinger socred goals but Shelbyville was a perfect 4-for-4 while Pendleton Heights missed on their third and fourth attempts.
The Arabians travel to the other conference leader’s home, New Palestine, on Thursday.
