Jill Steinmetz scores twice in 4-4 tie with Crestview

By Megan Dulle

Bluffton's girls soccer team traveled to Crestview on Saturday to challenge the Knights. The cold chilling breeze, and slight spit of rain didn't dampen the Pirates' spirits as they came ready to play with full force.

Jill Steinmetz scored the first goal for the Pirates not even a full five minutes into the game. Soon after, with revenge settling in the Knights' hearts, they worked together and scored a goal approximately eight minutes later.
