CLEVELAND, Tenn. – Gretchen Hammel didn’t really know what to expect from her Grace Academy soccer team Tuesday afternoon.

The Lady Golden Eagles lost to Bradley Central in a playday over the weekend, and Hammel was fielding a half-dozen new players and a half-dozen on the field were playing with a pulled muscle of one kind or another.

It played into host Bradley’s favor Tuesday, and the Bearettes pulled out a 3-0 victory.

“I knew they had some girls up front that could attack. Thankfully we were able to keep them in front of us,” Bradley coach Chrissy McKinney said.

The game was tight until midway of the second period when Anna Stouffer scored an unassisted goal to give her team some breathing room and a 2-0 lead.
