Mahomet-Seymour scored the final six goals of the match Tuesday afternoon to pull away for a 7-1 soccer win at Effingham.

After the Bulldogs scored the first goal, the Hearts responded with a goal by Armando Estrada after an assist by Tucker Moeller. But Mahomet-Seymour controlled the match from then on.

“Our first half was pretty strong,” said EHS coach Weston Peno. “Though Mahomet was able to get a few more scores in the first half, we really made them work for it. And we had a few really good looks, but just couldn’t finish.”

The second half was a different story.

“Mahomet controlled the ball a majority of the time,” Peno added. “Our conditioning was just not there and our bench was very shallow. With so many kids injured, we had to get creative in how we played. Moving forward, we will focus on going back to the basics. We’ll concentrate on things like field vision, soccer IQ, clean touches and, most importantly, communication.”

Effingham will travel to Lincoln at Thursday.
