The Bluffton University men's soccer team dropped a 2-1 decision to Defiance College on a sunny Wednesday, Sept. 29, 2021. The Jackets netted a goal in each half as they improved to 6-6 overall and 1-0 following the Heartland Conference opener. Bluffton slipped to 4-3 and 0-1 in the HCAC.
Edwin Quintana found the upper right corner from 30 yards out in minute 22, giving the visitors a 1-0 lead on Wednesday. When Defiance was whistled for a foul in the box 16 minutes later, penalty kick specialist Maxwell Kennedy (Strongsville) did his thing, knotting the score at 1-1.
Effective October 1, 2021, I am the full-time editor-owner of the Bluffton and Ada Icons. In following founder Fred Steiner, I know that I have big shoes to fill. Fred took a big leap when he created the Bluffton Icon in 2009 and, in 2012, the Ada Icon. My leap from employee to self-employed is much, much smaller. I’m inheriting some 20,000 monthly viewers of Bluffton area news and some 8,500 monthly viewers of Ada area news.
I’m also resting on the shoulders of Icon tech master and interim owner Ryan Lowry, who is still the wizard who keeps the online magic working.
