Cougars stop soccer Bucs’ streak, win 3-0

Brett Stuart scored the game’s lone first-half goal nine minutes into play and Catalino Leon sparked the Cougars with a goal and an assist in the second half, helping the host Cougars creep above .500 at 4-3-4 overall. The Bucs fell to 10-7-0 heading into Tuesday’s home match against Elkins.
