BOILING SPRINGS, SC - As a cold snap hit the upstate of South Carolina it seemed the Boiling Springs girls' soccer team offense had gone cold as well, but they used an impressive run in the second half to overcome an early deficit to come away with a 3-2 victory over Gaffney on Monday night.
It was the second straight region win for the Bulldogs as they also came away with a 2-0 victory at Spartanburg on Thursday night. After such a big win against the Vikings last week, Bulldogs head coach Chad Kerr thought his team may have come into the game a little too confident but was happy with the end result. "It was definitely a tough one," said Kerr. "I don't know if they played so well in the game last week and just thought that today was going to be a walk in the park, but they know every time we play Gaffney it's going to be a tough one. I'm happy for the girls to find three goals in the second half and not go into overtime." Gaffney held a 2-0 halftime lead but the Bulldogs made an impressive second half comeback and it started with a goal from senior Ava McCaskill to cut the lead to 2-1 in favor of the Indians. Boiling Springs captain Charley Kerr found the back of the net at the 30-minute mark for the Bulldogs second goal of the second half to tie the game at 2-2 between the two teams. With it looking like the game was heading for overtime, Kerr came up big once again as the game going went into the final two minutes of play. Kerr received a pass at the football 20-yard line with less than a minute left to play before spinning right for a left footed shot that sailed over the goalie into the top right corner of the goal to take a 3-2 lead over the Indians. Head coach Chad Kerr said that his team has faced adversity all season and that coming back in the game was just another show of them overcoming that adversity once again. "I knew they could do it and that's what we talked about at halftime," said Kerr. "We've faced adversity all season from injuries to sickness and just everything we've had to overcome. It's great to see by our girls and they found a way to win." The Bulldogs improve their region to 2-0 this season and will host Dorman in another region matchup on Thursday in a match set to begin at 7:00 PM. Comments are closed.
