Lady Commanders post six goals in first half
The Lady Bronco soccer team continued to struggle with its inexperience Saturday, as Boyd fell 9-0 in a home match against Friendship Christian.
Friendship went to work early and controlled the first half with six goals on the scoreboard. The Lady Broncos had very little offense in the first half with only two attempts.
In the second half Boyd settled down and worked the ball on offense. The Lady Bronco’s Mary Reynolds tried to get her team on the board early in the half but Friendship’s goalie was up to the task and held the Lady Broncos scoreless. The Lady Commanders added three goals in the second half to take the one-sided victory.
Boyd had eight shots at goal, with Reynolds taking three, Jennifer Laxton four and Grace Barnes had one attempt. Courtney Hard had 24 saves on the day for Boyd.
“We just have to keep working and gain experience,” said coach Teresa Sutton. “Our girls are working hard out there but we just don’t have enough experience to play with teams such as Friendship. We’ll keep working on fundamentals and hopefully build our program back up.”
