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.
