BOILING SPRINGS, SC - As the women's basketball program at Boiling Springs has struggled the last decade or so to establish an identity, the Bulldogs program will now turn to a familiar face that was a part of their most recent success as they hired former Bulldogs Breanna Ray to take the reins of the program.
Ray, a 2007 graduate of Boiling Springs, was the point guard on one of the most successful teams in recent memory of the Bulldogs program as in 2007 they went 20-6 including a loss in the third round of the 4A playoffs. She also was a part of the first Lady Bulldogs basketball program to win a playoff game in 15 seasons, when her team won a playoff game in 2006. During her time with the Bulldogs, she was named the best defensive player in her sophomore and senior seasons while also being named best offensive player her junior season. When asked how it feels to be returning to her home school as her first varsity head coaching job, Ray said it's an unbelievable experience. "It's feels unbelievable because I never thought I'd be coming back." said Ray. "Here I am though now trying to lead this program to be better. I always watched this program from the outside at my other stops and wanted it to be better because it's the school I graduated from." Ray said that coming back home never crossed her mind until recent years with some changes at the school she was formerly at and that watching her former school from a distance she sees a lot of talent that she can build on. "In the last two years coming back crossed my mind after we had a recent coaching change," said Ray. "I mean things change all the time and it was for the better but it made me want to start exploring my options and coming back home became one of my top priorities. I see the talent in the program coming from everywhere as the community just keeps growing fast. I want to reach the young kids and get them playing at an early age which is something that I done a lot when I was at Dorman." Ray played for former Bulldogs coach Kristy Ray, who coached the Bulldogs for three seasons compiling a 33-40 record with two trips to the 4A playoffs with playoff wins in each of the last two seasons. "When I was a player here Coach Ray instilled into us on how to be a leader," said Ray. "Every day we would do leadership worksheets to build our character up that taught us how to and when to play hard and be competitors. At my last school, we instilled into them to be competitors and to learn that each nigh a target is on their back and we have to fight for anything we get." After a successful career for the Bulldogs, Ray went on to play college basketball for Limestone University where she started at least one game in each of the four seasons that she was there. Since 2016 Ray has been serving as an assistant coach with the Dorman girls basketball program where she has worked to develop the youth program as the director of the youth program and also worked as a varsity assistant coach. "I want to help build the youth league here in Boiling Springs by going to the different schools and telling the kids about the program and getting them to come see our games," said Ray. "At Dorman I wanted it to be fun for the younger kids when they came to visit and that's the biggest thing I want our young girls in Boiling Springs to know about basketball is that the game is fun." During her time as an assistant coach with the Cavaliers, Dorman has won four region championships while also finishing as the Upper State runners-up in 2017. Prior to her time at Dorman, Ray also served six seasons as the JV head girls basketball coach at Hillcrest High School in Greenville. Ray said that she is in the process of building out her coaching staff but is going to work to get some other former Bulldogs to join her as they know what it takes to be successful in basketball at Boiling Springs. "I've reached out to some former players to see what their interest level would be and I've gotten some positive responses," said Ray. "We want to get some Boiling Springs alumni in here with us because they know what it takes to be good again as the ones I've talked to have all had success here during their times as well." When looking around the arena and seeing the jersey of Sheila Foster along with a banner to the 1978 state championship team as well as the success of other teams including the ones that she was a part of, Ray said her goal is to make the stints of success a more long-term deal and says it will start with building the program up from the younger kids. "It starts with the younger kids in elementary school," said Ray. "We have to reach them early and have them playing basketball at a young age which will hopefully grown instead of them just starting to learn the game at the middle school level. That way when they get to the high school level, they'll be that much farther ahead." GAFFNEY, SC - After picking up a win in the first game of the series at home on Monday night, the Boiling Springs Bulldogs went on the road to Gaffney on Wednesday night and came away with another 6-0 victory to go up 2-0 in the region series.
The Bulldogs got an impressive pitching performance from Jackson Cole in the first game as he went seven innings with 16 strikeouts on Monday night and on Wednesday night they got another strong pitching performance. Junior pitcher Kyle Dill backed up Cole's performance with another strong pitching performance on Wednesday night as he pitched all seven innings while striking out five batters and only allowing six hits. Boiling Springs held a 3-0 lead going into the seventh inning but were able to add three more runs in the top of the seventh inning to give the Bulldogs the insurance runs they needed. Jacob Dawkins, Jackson Cole, and Luke Compton each scored a run in the game as all three accounted for four of the Bulldogs five hits. Dawkins had a triple while Cole and Compton each had a double on Wednesday night. Corben Childers also added a single for the Bulldogs fifth hit in the game. The Bulldogs also had five stolen bases in the game as Landon Stevens had two stolen bases while Compton, Jackson Reel, and Rylee Douglas each added on stolen base each. The Bulldogs and Indians will finish off their regular season series on Friday night as both schools head back to Boiling Springs as the Bulldogs will look to sweep the series. The game is scheduled to begin at 6:30 PM. OTHER SCORES GIRLS LACROSSE - Riverside 10 Boiling Springs 3 The Boiling Springs girls lacrosse team held a 3-1 halftime lead but ended up allowing nine unanswered goals in their home matchup on Wednesday night. While the Bulldogs didn't come away with the victory, Bulldogs goalie Alli Hollifield had a good night as she had 21 saves on the same night she recorded her 200th career save. BOILING SPRINGS, SC - On a bright and sunny afternoon, the Boiling Springs tennis team got a little bit of revenge from an earlier season loss and defeated the visiting Dorman Cavaliers 4-3 in a key region matchup on Tuesday,
In the Bulldogs first home match since dedicating a bench alongside the courts to long time tennis coach Randy Gregory, the Bulldogs were able to battle to a big victory avenging an earlier 4-2 loss to the Cavaliers in their second match of the season. In the match Boiling Springs got a victory in the number two seed as Preston Reese got a pivotal victory for the Bulldogs (6-4, 6-1). They also got victories in number four singles and number five singles as Nathan Miller won in straight sets (6-0, 6-0) and William Garner came away with an impressive victory (6-1, 6-0) against his opponent. Dorman was able to get a straight set victory in number one singles as the Bulldogs Sam Corbitt fell (6-0, 6-0). They also got a victory in number three singles match as the Bulldogs Ben Reese (6-1, 3-6, (10-8)) fell in a hard-fought battle between the two players. With the Bulldogs leading 3-2 after all the singles matches the final decision came down to the doubles matches. In the number one doubles match, Dorman was able to come away with a (6-2, 6-1) victory but in number two singles the Bulldogs wrapped up the match as Thomas Raynor and Ben Reese defeated their opponents (6-2, 6-0). After the victory the Bulldogs are right back in the mix for the number two seed in Region II-5A along with Dorman and Byrnes. The Bulldogs will look to avenge another early season loss against the Rebels on Thursday afternoon at Byrnes. BOILING SPRINGS, SC - In a game that saw both teams battling tooth and nail early, it was back-to-back home runs in the fourth inning that helped send the Boiling Springs softball team to a 5-1 region win over the visiting Gaffney Indians on Tuesday night.
With the victory, Boiling Springs finishes their first trip through region play with a 2-2 record and have a lot of confidence as the two losses could have easily been wins had things went slightly different for the Bulldogs. "We had the great momentum that we got from the Byrnes game but I told the girls tonight in our post game huddle this is still not our best softball," said Bulldogs head coach Hannah McDowell. "We can make a lot of chaos in the region in the second trip through and I don't think a lot of people were expecting that from us going into the season. We don't want to get comfortable with where we are but we want to keep the pressure on to get ourselves ready for the second half of the region season and the playoffs." With the Bulldogs trailing by one in the bottom of the fourth inning, after Gaffney got a run off an error, and the rain starting to pick up, it looked like it was now or never for the Boiling Springs offense to get started and on the first at-bat of that half of the inning lightning struck off the bat of senior centerfielder Morgan Hammett to get the Bulldogs bats going. Hammett was leading off the bottom of the fourth inning for the Bulldogs and on the first pitch she saw sent a ball down the right field line and when it hit the ground trickled to the right field corner. From the first step out of the box Hammett was hustling and by the time her foot hit third base and the ball hadn't been thrown in yet, she had no intentions of stopping and beat the throw home for an inside-the-park home run to tie the game at 1-1 with the Indians. "When I rounded second base I was looking for Coach Hannah and I was running as fast as I could," said Hammett. "When I hit third base I knew I had a shot to make it home because I saw the ball hadn't even made it to the infield yet so I just went for it. After I scored you could feel the energy pick up and the Bri followed and we took off from there." When asked if she thought about giving her senior the stop sign at third base, Coach McDowell said with a laugh that it crossed her mind for a second. "It was a neck and neck game up to the fourth inning there but one of our things is making adjustments, staying in the moment, and creating chaos which Morgan did just that on that play," said McDowell with a laugh. "Half of me was saying to keep her at third but I saw her running like a bull in a China shop and decided I couldn't stop her and just sent her home." The energy from the inside-the-park home run went up another level on the next at-bat as junior pitcher Bri Stanley took a 2-0 pitch to deep right centerfield for a homerun to give the Bulldogs a 2-1 lead, their first lead of the game. "After Morgan got that inside-the-park homer I said I'm probably not going to hit one like that so I better try to hit one over the fence," said Stanley with a laugh. "In all honesty though, I was just thinking about hitting it base to base and when you do that the home runs will just come." With the Bulldogs still holding onto a one run lead in the bottom of the sixth inning, they looked to add some insurance runs which they did pushing their lead to 5-1 over the Indians. The sixth inning got started with Bri Stanley being walked and two outs later it looked like that strategy may be working out well for Gaffney until Sayde Parris hit a double to the left centerfield wall putting herself and Bri McAbee, who ran for Stanley, in scoring position. On the next at-bat, both McAbee and Parris scored on a triple to right field by Gracen Bennett to push the Boiling Springs lead to 4-1 over Gaffney. Bennett made the score 5-1 in favor of the Bulldogs when she scored from third base on a passed ball. Bulldogs pitcher Bri Stanley also had a big night from the pitching circle as she went all seven innings while not allowing an earned run and striking out 11 Gaffney batters. Stanley said she didn't have her best stuff on Tuesday but the confidence of her defense in her and the confidence she has in them helped her gut out a win in a game she wasn't pitching her best. "Coming into this game I felt a little weak minded because in this game after so long you just get worn down some," said Stanley. "My coach and teammates were able to reassure me they had my back though and to let the defense work and I did what I could. Having a defense like I have behind me is great because as a pitcher you feel like you're working your tail off each at-bat and to know they have my back is big but that goes both ways because I have their backs as well." McDowell said the toughness shown by Stanley to admit she didn't have her best stuff in the circle but to still find a way to win is huge. "Coming into the season I'm not sure Bri fully believed that she could do the hard things to get herself out of situations on the mound," said McDowell. "I believe that now that she's accomplished it she has a lot more confidence in what she brings to the pitching circle. Tonight she told me her pitches weren't working early but she's a problem solver and made it work to come away with eleven strikeouts and a win tonight. It takes a mentally tough person with a passion for their sport to say hey I'm not on my A-game, but I'm going to make it work for my team." In the game, Boiling Springs had six total hits and four of those were all for extra bases, including two home runs and a triple. Boiling Springs will go out of region play in their next contest as they travel to Grey Collegiate on Thursday in a game with a scheduled start time of 7:30 PM. BOILING SPRINGS, SC - It only took seven rounds of penalty kicks and a player having to lace their cleats back up for Boiling Springs to come away with the 3-3 (7-6) victory over region rival Byrnes on Monday night.
"The girls needed this win big time and we probably should have won it bigger but that's just the way the game goes," said Bulldogs head girls soccer coach Chad Kerr. "Byrnes has some really outstanding playmakers and we struggled a little bit as a team, We didn't want to go to overtime but we did and held them off and we done our job in the penalty kicks to get the win." When the game was tied at 3-3 at the end of regulation and two overtime periods, it sent the game into penalty kicks. Through the first five kickers, not one Boiling Springs or Byrnes kicker has missed a goal and that continued onto the sixth kickers but on the seventh kicker, a Rebels kicker missed the goal just wide. If the Bulldogs hit their next goal they'd win the match and with the game on the line they sent sophomore Sophie Crosby to take the kick, but it took a second as Crosby had to retie her cleats as most soccer games in penalty kicks are done after the first five kickers make their attempts. With the game on the line, Crosby approached the kick and with a strong right footed kick hit the back of the net on the upper left ninety to give the Bulldogs the victory. "I was very nervous going out there because I thought it was going to go over the net because that's what usually happens on my penalty kicks but luckily that one went in," said Crosby. "It feels really good to get that kick and help get the team the win." Coach Kerr said that after the way that Crosby's season ended last year due to injury early in the season, he couldn't be happier for her to be the one to get the game winning goal. "As one of two sophomores on our team and the way she had her season in last year with the injury early in the season," said Kerr. "For her to come back and do this and step up for a big penalty kick, I'm so proud of her." Prior to heading into overtime, the Bulldogs and Rebels had quite the back-and-forth match, as they exchanged goals throughout the match. Byrnes got the first goal of the match when Saige Peterson made a quick turn and fire for a right footed shot that found the top right ninety to give the Rebels a 1-0 lead at the twelve-minute mark of the first half. The Bulldogs responded just over a minute later when sophomore Charley Kerr found the back of the net on a right footed shot off of a cross to the middle to tie the match at 1-1, as the score stayed the same into the halftime break. Boiling Springs got the first goal of the second half less than a minute in when freshman forward Miranda Amieva took a right footed shot off a cross to give the Bulldogs a 2-1 lead. The Rebels responded when Jaleah Simmons found the back of the net on a shot to the left of the goal to tie the match at the thirty-one minute mark of the second half. In what could only be considered a Sportscenter highlight goal, Boiling Springs retook the lead at 3-2 when senior forward Dreyahna Nesbitt hit the back left corner of the net on a kick she took from the ten-yard line numbers of the football field that went over forty yards in the air for a goal at the twenty-six minute mark of the second half. The game stayed in favor of the Bulldogs most of the second half but with just three minutes to go in the match, a Byrnes player fired a shot that appeared to reach the goal line but according to the referee had crossed the line for the game tying goal. In the penalty kick session the Bulldogs outside the goal from Crosby, the Bulldogs also got goals from Charley Kerr, Miranda Amieva, Dreyahna Nesbitt, Keturah Meadows, Madison Squires, and Alexis Kishbaugh. While the Bulldogs had three goals scored against them, the Rebels had a few more opportunities they could have converted if not for the strong play of junior goalkeeper Natalie Trudell, who had ten saves in the game. Kerr said that Monday night was just a continuation of the strong play Trudell has been displaying all season long. "Natalie was magic tonight and just played phenomenal," said Kerr. "On those penalty kicks there's not much any goalie can do but she kept us in the game all night just like she has all season. Once we figure out our offense we're going to make her job a lot easier but she has been a rock for us at goalie all season." With the nail biting victory over the region rival, it puts the Bulldogs right back in the region race in what has been a very competitive region this season. "We're so neck and neck with the other teams in the region that we gave ourselves a shot at the region by picking up this victory tonight." said Kerr. Boiling Springs will look to keep the momentum going on Thursday night when they return to the home field for another region matchup against Gaffney that is set to begin at 7:00 PM. OTHER SCORES: BASEBALL - Boiling Springs 6 Gaffney 0 Boiling Springs got an impressive outing from senior pitcher Jackson Cole who pitched all seven innings while striking out 16 Gaffney batters. BOYS SOCCER - Boiling Springs 2 Byrnes 1 The Boiling Springs boys soccer team improved to 3-1 in region play with a victory over the Rebels on Monday night. The Bulldogs were tied with the Rebels 1-1 at halftime but was able to take the victory in the second half getting a goal and holding the Rebels scoreless. BOILING SPRINGS, SC - After seeming to find their identity on Wednesday night, the Boiling Springs boys lacrosse team kept the momentum going on Friday night as they came away with a 16-3 home region win over Byrnes.
Bulldogs head coach Tanner Mills said that now that his team has found their identity that they have to continue to grow and cultivate that identity. "I told our guys that now that we've found our identity and sustaining it, we now have to learn to cultivate it and make it better," said Mills. "It comes down to culture and our guys are diving all over the field for possession of shots and that's what our culture is as a team. Our guys are going to keep that identity now because they're focused on the last game of the year and winning that one." It took the Bulldogs offense a few minutes to get going in the game but once it got going, the Rebels couldn't do much to slow it down. The scoring got started with just over five minutes to go in the first quarter when Drew Buckmeir found the back of the net off an assist from Lincoln Huskey. Over the next five minutes the Bulldogs got goals from Huskey (twice), Chase Miller, and Elijah Smith to hold a 5-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter the Bulldogs outscored the Rebels 2-1, getting goals from Smith and Miller to push their halftime lead to 7-1 over Byrnes. Boiling Springs really separated themselves from the Rebels in the third quarter as they outscored the Rebels 7-1 to take a 14-2 lead at the end of the third quarter. The Bulldogs got scores in the quarter from Smith (2), Miller (2), Huskey, Javen Chhim, and Dawton Martin. The Bulldogs also added two more goals from Elijah Smith in the fourth quarter as he finished the match with four overall goals and was joined at the four-goal mark in the match by teammate Chase Miller as both combined to score half of the team's goals on Friday night. While everyone focused on the goals scored, it was the lack of goals that the Bulldogs allowed that helped seal the victory as goalie Parker Lamb had 12 saves. "Tonight was a defensive win as it was the best game our defense has played this season," said Mills. "At the end of the day, the defensive side is the one that will win us the championships and games. The great thing about our defense is we're young but we've got two great games back-to-back from senior Cameron Wagner as he had seven takeaways in our last game which is almost unheard of in lacrosse. Defense is where it starts and offense is where it finishes." Boiling Springs will next return to the field this coming Friday as they travel to Dorman in a region matchup and will look to get revenge from a loss earlier this season, BOILING SPRINGS, SC - After two lopsided scores last year between the two teams, the Boiling Springs and Byrnes softball teams battled in a pitching duel on Friday night as the Rebels grabbed the 1-0 victory.
While the Bulldogs didn't come away with the victory, Boiling Springs head coach Hannah McDowell said she saw the game as a turning point for her team as they finally found their identity. "Tonight was a very emotional softball game especially from the coaches as we've seen the growth in the girls from just Tuesday," said McDowell. "We've talked a lot about the mental side of the game since our last game and tonight was just one of those games that nobody deserved to lose. I told our girls that this is our building moment and the way we played tonight is our standard and we'll just build on it from here." Through the first three innings neither Boiling Springs pitcher Bri Stanley nor Byrnes pitcher Sierra Maness allowed a run but in the top of the fourth inning Maness broke that scoreless streak when she led off the inning by hitting a home run to left centerfield that just barely cleared the wall to give Byrnes a 1-0 lead. From that point on the pitchers kept their duel going, not allowing a run to score on either side the rest of the game. Maness had a no-hitter going into the bottom of the seventh inning for Byrnes but a really good slap hit to the left side of the infield by the Bulldogs Emma Wilkins broke up the no-hitter and also gave the Bulldogs a chance to win the game with two outs in the final inning. The Bulldogs ended up falling short but the fight from the team throughout the game showed their resiliency. "I'd rather have our girls in a game like this where no one deserves to lose than in a game where we win big," said McDowell. "I think we learn a lot from these moments and going forward I think we have a bigger physical and mental advantage." Bulldogs pitcher Bri Stanley ended her strong game on Friday night pitching seven innings while allowing one run on five hits and striking out eight batters. The performance on Friday continues a strong season by Stanley from the pitching circle this season which McDowell says comes from the mental work they do each day in practice to get ready for games. "In our bullpens we work on visualizing the zone and seeing where we want our pitches to go along with sequencing," said McDowell. "Bri is a very fiery competitor and a passionate player but I believe she has learned to keep that in-check from the pitching circle this year by battling through those moments by having the confidence in what we do in practice will show up in the game." Byrnes pitcher Sierra Maness ended the game pitching seven innings while allowing one hit and striking out 15 batters. Boiling Springs will finish out their first trip through region play on Tuesday when they host Gaffney. BOILING SPRINGS, SC - After having their game delayed on Wednesday night, Boiling Springs finally hosted Byrnes in the second game of their region series on Thursday night and came away with a 2-1 victory to go up 2-0 in the series.
Both teams were able to keep each other off the scoreboard through the first four and a half innings of the game until the Bulldogs were able to break through in the bottom of the fifth inning. With one out in the fifth inning, the Bulldogs finally broke the seal on the scoreboard when right fielder Justin Dawkins hit a double to the outfield wall before coming around to score on a Luke Compton double to centerfield to put the Bulldogs up 1-0 over the Rebels. Compton pushed the lead to 2-0 when he came around to score on a single by senior catcher Hudson Wilson. Byrnes added a run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Bulldogs lead at 2-1 over the Rebels. Boiling Springs got an impressive start from pitcher Kyle Dill who threw six innings for the Bulldogs allowing as he only one run on three hits while striking out four Byrnes batters to get the win. Jackson Reel pitched two-thirds of an inning in the seventh inning while striking out a batter for the save. Luke Compton and Jackson Reel led the Bulldogs in hitting as both went two for three on the night. Boiling Springs and Byrnes will lock horns again on Friday night as the series shifts to Byrnes for the third game of the series as the Bulldogs look to sweep the Rebels. OTHER SCORES: BOYS SOCCER - Boiling Springs 0 Dorman 1 GIRLS SOCCER - Boiling Springs 1 Dorman 2 BOILING SPRINGS, SC - On a cold and rainy night in South Carolina, the Boiling Springs boys lacrosse team set some school records and was a goal away from tying a state record in their 18-4 victory over TC Roberson on Wednesday night.
Bulldogs coach Tanner Mills said the victory was good for the Bulldogs because it got them back to being who they are as a team. "We had to reestablish our identity which is a team having a good time playing lacrosse," said Mills. "We don't play well when we're mad or frustrated but play our best when we're goofy and having a good time as at the end of the day it's just a game." Chase Miller got the scoring going for the Bulldogs on a right-handed shot that found the back of the net less than a minute into the match. He was followed with goals from Peyton Tanner and Lincoln Huskey to give Boiling Springs a 3-0 lead just over two minutes into the match. The Bulldogs next three goals came via shots from Elijah Smith, which started a huge night for Smith that included setting a school record and coming just short of a state record, as he gave Boiling Springs a 6-2 first quarter lead. In the second quarter Dawton Martin, Miller, and Huskey all added goals to push the Boiling Springs lead to 9-3 over the Rams at halftime. The second half saw Elijah Smith really take control of the game as he scored seven of the final nine goals for the Bulldogs. Smith finished the night with ten goals, which was one goal shy of tying a state record for goals in the game, and also finished the match with 146 total career points, which puts him first on the all-time points list for Boiling Springs. Monty Carmona and Huskey scored the only other two goals not scored by Smith in the second half. Smith wasn't the only Bulldog to set a school record on Wednesday night as Lincoln Huskey with his five assists in the match moved into the all-time lead for assists in the Bulldogs program with 54 assists in his career. "It's great those guys got those records but if it wasn't for the other 19 guys on the team they would have never gotten those opportunities to set those records," said Mills. "We found our identity tonight as a team and we're going to keep that going into the game on Friday night." Boiling Springs will return to action on Friday night when they host Byrnes in another region matchup that is scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM. BOILING SPRINGS, SC - On a rainy cool night in Boiling Springs, the Bulldogs girls lacrosse team finally found a break in the weather to honor their seniors with an 8-1 victory over Asheville (NC) High School.
The Bulldogs honored five seniors on Wednesday night as they thanked Mia Lockwood, Emma Wood, Kirsten Fisher, Chloe Moyers, and Brooklyn Faith Easler for their combined fifteen years of dedication to the Bulldogs program. For Boiling Springs coach Michelle Lockwood, this was a special group of seniors as she has helped coach this group since they were in the fifth grade in the Inman youth league. "This group is special to me in a lot of ways," said Lockwood. "I started coaching these girls in the fifth grade with Inman Youth and now I'm here in their last season. They've played together this whole time a group that is close to my heart." Asheville got the first goal of the game to take an early 1-0 lead just two minutes into the game. After that first goal though it was all Boiling Springs which started with a big performance from senior Kirsten Fisher who scored the first three goals of the game for the Bulldogs. The first goal was a penalty shot on an open net after a foul was committed by the Cougars goalie while the next two goals came on impressive right handed shots on crosses across the middle. Boiling Springs made their lead 4-1 with just under three minutes left in the first half when fellow senior Emma Wood made a shot in between two Cougar defenders that found the bottom right of the net. Senior Mia Lockwood got the scoring started quickly for the Bulldogs in the second half as she found the back of the net with a right handed shot less than three minutes into the half to give Boiling Springs a 5-1 lead. Fellow senior Brooklyn Faith Easler gave the Bulldogs a 6-1 lead when she stole a Cougars pass then fired a right-handed shot that hit the bottom right corner of the goal with just over fifteen minutes left in the match. With the goal by Easler, it gave four of the five seniors a goal on senior night and Lockwood said that she'd hoped to get them all multiple goals but the slow start to the game for the team didn't allow it. "It was really good to get a win for these girls on senior night," said Lockwood. "I was hoping we could get multiple goals for each of the girls but we struggled in the beginning before pulling off the win in the end." Caroline Bishop pushed the Boiling Springs lead to 7-1 when she found the back of the net on a penalty shot with just over eight minutes to go in the match. Fisher, who led all scorers with four goals, ended her scoring in the same way she began as she found the bottom corner of the net on a penalty shot to push the Bulldogs lead to 8-1 with just under two minutes to go in the match. While Wednesday night marked senior night for the Bulldogs girls lacrosse program, you can still see them play at home this year as they have three straight home matches after their road trip to Byrnes on Friday night. |
