Meanwhile, Wednesday just wasn't the day for Shelby's offense. They came up short against Ludington on Wednesday, falling 4-0.

With that draw, Alma's record moves to 12-5-2. As for Shelby, they have been struggling recently as they've lost six of their last seven matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-12-2 record this season.
