It was a very competitive season within the EIAC.

(St. Leon, Ind.) – It was the East Central girls and Batesville boys that stood atop the Eastern Indiana Athletic Conference at the end of the 2020 soccer season.

The conference champs each placed six players on the 2020 EIAC Boys and Girls All-Conference Teams.

On the girls side, East Central took home the conference championship with a perfect 7-0 record in conference play. The Lady Trojans were led by EIAC Offensive MVP Lexi Watkins and EIAC Defensive Co-MVP Sophie Browndyke.

Watkins led the Lady Trojans with 15 goals and eight assists, while Browndyke anchored EC’s defense, which allowed only 12 goals all season.

Defensive Co-MVP Holly Knippenberg was one of five Lawrenceburg Lady Tigers to earn all-conference honors.

Batesville won the 2020 EIAC Boys Soccer Championship with a late season win over East Central. The Bulldogs were led by Offensive Co-MVP Ian Powers.
