HURON With a pair of goals in the second half, Brandon Valley emerged with a 2-1 victory in the boys soccer season opener against Huron on Friday at Tiger Stadium.
We did a great job of moving the ball in the first half, but ultimately our mistakes cost us in the second half, Huron coach Leah Branaugh said. We gave up too much possession time with the ball and gave Brandon Valley opportunities to score and they capitalized on that.
We had several missed opportunities on our end to score in both halves, which hurt us in the end, she said.
The Tigers managed to put the lone goal on the board in the opening half and carried a 1-0 lead into the second half. Biat Say hit the net on a penalty shot during the 31st minute to open the scoring.
Brandon Valley found the net just four minutes apart in the second half with the first coming in the 56th minute to pull even.

We will regroup and be ready for next weekend against Stevens and Central in Rapid City, Branaugh said.
