On Monday night the Boiling Springs Lady Bulldogs soccer team sent out their five seniors with a victory as they defeated the Gaffney Indians 7-0 to improve to 9-4 in region play. The Bulldogs honored senior players Brooke Cash, Johanna Bravo, Taylor Wilson, Sereniti Austin, and Hailey Tuckmantel on Monday night.
"On senior night we have a lot of festivities and congratulations but we still have to play the game," said Bulldogs head coach Jonathan Burnett. "Kate got us started their early and the rest of the team followed suit. It was a good way to bounce back after the tough loss and get us ready for Riverside on Wednesday and for the playoffs next week." The Bulldogs got on the board early as Kate Johnson found the back of the net from just outside the left side of the penalty box to give Boiling Springs a 1-0 lead just four minutes into the game. Just four minutes later Bulldogs senior Brooke Cash, who scored two goals on the night, broke behind the Indians defense and found the top left corner of the net to put the Bulldogs lead at 2-0. "It feels really good to get the win here on senior night especially it being our last home game," said Cash. "I'm super proud of my team and since I've been playing defense most of the season it was nice to be able get two goals." The Bulldogs added another first half goal with just under thirteen minutes left in the half when senior Johanna Bravo knocked a header in on a corner kick to give the Bulldogs a 3-0 lead at the half. The third senior Bulldog got a goal just six minutes into the second half when Taylor Wilson found the bottom left corner of the net on a corner kick to put the Boiling Springs lead at 4-0. Cash would score her second goal of the game just eight minutes later when she raced down the right side line to get behind the Gaffney defense and give the Bulldogs a 5-0 lead. Boiling Springs scored their sixth goal of the night when Skylar Young got behind the Indians defense and found the center of the goal at the fifty-nine minute mark in the game. The Bulldogs added their final goal of the game with just over seventeen minutes left when Elainee Sprinkle headed a corner kick into the back of the net for a 7-0 lead. Coach Burnett said that this senior class has set the standard for what they told him they wanted this team to be when he took the job two years ago. "This senior class made very clear to me when I met them for the first time what their goals for Boiling Springs girls soccer were," said Coach Burnett. "For them to have laid the foundations for the changes they have done a great job of leaving a legacy that the girls coming after them will be able to build upon. They have started to change the culture of soccer here." The Bulldogs will finish out the regular season with a makeup game at Riverside before finding out who their opponent will be in the playoffs that start on Monday. Comments are closed.
