Tyrone/Bellwood-Antis co-op soccer team lost 8-4  in Tyrone Wednesday afternoon on Senior Day.

Bellwood-Antis’s lone Senior for this year was Aaron Andrews.

Andrew Pearson scored two goals for Tyrone, while B-A products Corey Johnston and Alex Schmoke added one goal each.

“For being a very young team I think we did pretty well, but if we work hard in the off-season we can get even better,” said Johnston, a freshman.  “I expected to have an average season knowing we had a lot of young players playing major roles on the team.”

The team fell to 4-13 after losing its last seven games. In their last three games, the Eagles allowed an average of 7.3 goals per game.

The B-A/ Tyrone Soccer team concludes their season in a make-up game against Dubois on Saturday.
