BOYS SOCCER Notre Dame 1, Poplar Bluff 0

The Bulldogs needed overtime to dispatch the host Mules.

Joda Holloway took a pass from John Unterreiner and found the back of the net for the game's lone goal.

"We had trouble finishing," Notre Dame coach Brad Wittenborn said. "We had a lot of shots. It was just one of those nights where we kept missing the goal."

Ryan Bass didn't make a save, but earned the shutout as Notre Dame improved to 17-4.
