Adairsville girls fall in OT; Tigers edged at Bremen

The Adairsville girls soccer team lost for the first time this season Wednesday night, falling in overtime at Bremen, 1-0.

The game was a matchup of two of the top teams in Region 6-AAA.

Emily Collum scored the Lady Tigers’ only goal. It came in the third minute to give Adairsville an early 1-0 lead.

Bremen scored late in the first half to tie the game 1-1 at the intermission.

Following a scoreless second half, the game went into overtime. Bremen scored on a 35-yard shot at the end of the first overtime period to take the lead. After a scoreless second overtime half, that shot would be the difference for a 2-1 Lady Blue Devils win.

Bremen improved to 6-2 overall and 2-0 in region play with the win.

BREMEN BOYS 1, ADAIRSVILLE 0

In a hard-fought game where the Tigers controlled the ball much of the time, Bremen tallied the only goal for a 1-0 Region 6AAA victory.

“We controlled the ball about 85 percent of the game,” said Adairsville coach Kelly Abernathy. “We just couldn’t put the ball in the net.”

Adairsville placed 28 shots on goal, but the Blue Devils net minders were up to the task.

Stuart Abernathy had 17 saves and Nic Jackson eight in net for the Tigers.

“We played well,” stated coach Abernathy. “They have a tough atmosphere to play in, but the boys gave it 110 percent. I’m very proud of their effort and looking forward to playing again tomorrow.”

Bremen improved to 6-2 overall and 1-1 in Region 6AAA action.

Adairsville (1-3, 1-1) plays at Haralson County Thursday.
