In a Tuesday all-county game, Hamilton Heights and University played to a 1-1 tie at the Trailblazers’ field.
University scored its goal in the first half, with Elliot Muehlhausen finding the back of the net. The Huskies kept fighting and tied the game with 1:40 left in the second half. Phoenix Vondersaar got the tying score.
“That’s resilience,” said Heights coach Drew Colvin. “At least we’re not putting our heads down and quitting when it’s late game, so that’s the positive takeaway.”
“To be fair, it was one of our better performances of the year,” said Trailblazers coach Alex Baumgart. University graduated several seniors from last season.
“At the end of the day, it was a good showing on our part, we just need to be a little more clinical in our finishing,” said Baumgart.
University is 5-5-2 and hosts Beech Grove next Tuesday. The Huskies are 9-1-5 and play Thursday at Western.
