Friendship Christian unkind in 9-0 victory
Boyd Christian’s Lady Broncos suffered their second loss of the season on the road Thursday afternoon against Friendship Christian. Friendship took advantage of Boyd’s youth and lack of experience to pick up the 9-0 victory.
The Lady Commanders came out very aggressive on offense and took advantage of several early defensive mistakes by Boyd. Goalie Courtney Hard who is has taken over the goalie position due to a knee injury to Tabitha King, had her work cut out for her Thursday.
The Lady Commanders continued to attack the goal on offense and gave the Lady Broncos offense very few shots at goal. Mary Reynolds and Jennifer Laxton combined for the Lady Broncos six shots at goal but never could find the back of the net. Two of Friendships nine goals came by the way of penalty kicks when the Lady Broncos were called for two handballs inside the box.
“Friendship has always had a solid soccer team and this year is no exception,” said head coach Teresa Sutton.
“For the most part our defense did a good job. Tenara Jones, Grace Barnes and Lyndsey King played very well on defense but Friendship was more experienced and stronger. We have a lot of work to do this year with such a young team. We have to learn the basic fundamentals of the game as we continue to work hard and improve.”
The Lady Broncos first home game will be Tuesday against Dekalb County at 5 p.m.
