BOILING SPRINGS, SC - The Boiling Springs boys lacrosse team bounced back from a tough loss on Thursday with a dominant 18-6 victory over Evans High School (Ga) while also seeing senior attacker Matthias Oslund set a school record on Saturday afternoon.
"It's a great way to forget about Thursday," said Bulldogs head coach Justin Mills. "We got a bunch of guys in today and our goal today was just to get some quality looks and we ran through our offense today while picking up some goals." Boiling Springs jumped out to an early lead grabbing four straight goals from Kaden Jenkins, Javen Chhim, Elijah Smith, and Lincoln Huskey to take a 4-0 lead just eight minutes into the game. Evans was able to score a goal at the three-minute mark before the Bulldogs scored three more goals to end the first quarter from Ashton Scott, Mathis Oslund, and Lincoln Huskey for a 7-1 first quarter lead. Evans scored the first and final goals of the second quarter but in between those two goals the Bulldogs got four goals as Ethan Westall and Elijah Smith both picked up a goal apiece while Matthias Oslund scored the other two goals as he reached a career milestone of 100 and 101 career points, which puts him as the all-time leader in career points for the Boiling Springs lacrosse program. He added two more goals in the fourth quarter as he currently holds the Bulldogs record with 103 career points. "Matthias is such a consistent player," said Mills. "Every game he's played under me since his freshman year he's been a guy we can give the ball to and tell him to go get us a quick goal. We're going to miss him when he heads to college next year but his name will be in the record books here at Boiling Springs for a long time with that record." In the third quarter Boiling Springs picked up goals from Chase Miller and Lincoln Huskey to push their lead to 13-4 over Evans. Boiling Springs started the fourth quarter with back-to-back goals from Kaden Jenkins to push their lead to 15-4 before Evans got back-to-back goals from Cavin Strawser to cut the Bulldogs lead to 15-6 with just over six minutes to go in the game. Oslund responded with two back-to-back goals of his own for the Bulldogs including an impressive goal that saw him catch a ricochet off the Evans goal before firing a shot that found the bottom left of the goal for a 17-6 lead. Micah Horton scored the last goal of the game for the Bulldogs as he won the faceoff and fired a shot that found the back of the net to give Boiling Springs an 18-6 victory. Mills said he was glad to see his guys battle back from the adversity from Thursday and how it will help them as the season goes along. "Thursday was the first loss we've had this season to overcome, and our guys have learned how to battle through adversity," said Mills. "We're probably going to lose again this year so we just have to keep reminding ourselves how to battle through that adversity." Boiling Springs will return to action next week in road matchups as they travel to Hillcrest on Tuesday before returning to region play on Thursday when they travel to Fort Mill. Comments are closed.
