FREDERICKTOWN -- The Poplar Bluff Mules soccer team grabbed its second win of season with a 3-1 victory Thursday night at Fredericktown.

Dallas Berry scored his first goal of the season on a header off an assist by Josh Thompson.

The Mules took a 2-0 lead into half after Fredericktown scored on its own goal later in the first half.

"In the first 10 minutes of the game, we applied good pressure and sent lots of balls in the box for scoring chances," Mules head coach Derek Reasons said.

In other games involving Poplar Bluff, the volleyball team swept Bloomfield 25-21, 25-15, the tennis team lost 5-4 to Charleston and the softball Lady Mules won 13-5 at Scott City.

At Fredericktown, the Blackcats (0-4) responded in the second half after a defensive breakdown by the Mules caused a goal for the Blackcats' Ryley Roberts.

Thompson responded shortly after as he placed a free kick at the top of the penalty area past the goalkeeper.

"It was a great shot," Reasons said. "Josh really can take advantage of those opportunities for us."

Jay Raulston got the win in net with six saves.

"I was proud that the guys found a way to get a victory," Reasons added. "That tells a lot about a team's character."
