The Noblesville boys soccer team opened its season last Saturday with a 2-0 win at Columbus North.
The three-time defending state champion Millers scored both of their goals in the second half. The first goal came in the 48th minute: Caden Rice made a kick into the goal; it was initially saved, but the power of the kick caused the Bull Dogs’ goalkeeper to deflect the ball off the crossbar and into the goal. Noblesville scored its second goal during the 72nd minute, as Anthony Fuentes sent the ball to Brady Frayer, who sent a kick into the upper 90 for the score.
Junior Alex Eberhart made four saves.
