PHS 2, Liberty Center 1

Pettisville beat Liberty Center 2-1, Thursday, Sept. 21, at LC.

Neither team scored in the first half. Liberty Center (5-2) opened the scoring in the second half on a missed clearance by a Pettisville defender that ricocheted off the Tiger forward, allowing him to get behind the defense for a wide open shot on goal.

Pettisville quickly responded with a counterattack to Detric Yoder, who beat two LC defenders.

Pettisville was nursing injuries to three starters, but with 10 minutes left inserted Wyse into the game for the first time to generate some midfield build.

He quickly broke down two Tiger defenders and threaded a pass to a wide- open Yoder for the game winner.
