ROEBUCK, SC - Coming off an impressive penalty kick victory over Spring Valley in the first round of the 5A playoffs, the Boiling Springs boys' soccer team had another battle on their hands Wednesday night against county rival Dorman.
While the match was a battle between two county rivals, it took an amazingly rare soccer shot for the Cavaliers to defeat the Bulldogs 2-1 in the second-round playoff game. Both teams exchanged possession back and forth early in the first half before the Cavaliers took a 1-0 lead at the eighteen-minute mark when the Cavaliers Matthew Gibson hit a left footed shot that found the left side of the Bulldogs goal. Dorman took the 1-0 lead into halftime despite the Bulldogs getting multiple shots on goal that sailed just wide. At the twenty-seven minute mark in the second half, the Bulldogs got the equalizing goal when junior Josh Bravo nailed a left footed shot that found the right top corner of the Cavaliers net to tie the game at 1-1. With time running down in the match both teams exchanged shots on goal as both defenses worked to limit the opportunities of the other team. At the eleven-minute mark, the Cavaliers worked their way inside the Bulldogs penalty box when Dorman forward Serge Nkoth pulled off an amazing right footed bicycle kick that found the top left of the Bulldogs goal giving the Cavaliers a 2-1 lead. Trailing by one goal the Bulldogs kept attacking the Dorman goal but was unable to find the back of the net as they just ran out of time when the referee's whistle went off to signal the end of the match. The Bulldogs finish the 2022 season with a 4-8 record out of one of the toughest regions in the state. Comments are closed.
