The visiting Bluffton High School girls soccer team blanked Bath 2-0 Saturday afternoon.

Pirate Olivia Matthews scored the game's first goal with just over a minute left in the first half.

Sami Scoles netted the second goal in the 61st minutes to give the Pirate girls an insurance tally.

Efficient Bluffton put all eight of its shots on goal. Bath also got off eight shots, five of which were on goal.

Pirate keeper Julie Mehaffie stopped each one to come up with five saves. 

The Pirate girls (2-0) open league play at Spencerville Monday, August 29. Bluffton then hosts Van Buren September 1 in the home opener.
