 Plymouth senior midfielder Brandi Witmer (4) looks to make a drop against Adams during Tuesday’s game. PLYMOUTH — Plymouth started slow after a week-long layover, but senior mid Brandi Witmer found the net with just nine minutes to play, preserving a 1-1 tie with South Bend Adams on Senior Night at Plymouth. Neither team scored until the second half, but it was Adams which struck first as Maeve Mallozzi-Kelly scor-ed a direct goal in the 63rd minute. The visitors re-mained up 1-nil until junior forward Brea Whitmire found Witmer — a one-time striker with the team — who finished the late goal in the gusty, wet weather and prevented a Plymouth loss with appropriate Senior Night heroics.
The Lady Pilgrims bid good-bye to a strong core of 10 seniors in their final game of the year before beginning Argos Sectional play against the host Dragons next Monday. The Pilgrim seniors are: Witmer, goalie Nikki Butcher, defenders Katie Reed, Kaycee Lynch, Joy Rich, Maggie Tanner and midfielders Kayla Ray, Samantha Webster, Kayla Vanlue and Anna Rosas. Plymouth closes regular-season play at 10-4-2. • PLYMOUTH 1, SOUTH BEND ADAMS 1 At Plymouth Second half A — Maeve Mallozzi-Kelly (unassisted), 63rd minute P — Brandi Witmer (Brea Whitmire), 71st minute Record: PHS 10-4-2 (5-2 NLC) JV Score: PHS 0, Adams 0
