A little gloomy weather did little to slow the Chattanooga Christian School girls’ soccer team Tuesday night. CCS blanked host Boyd-Buchanan 5-0 behind four goals in a damp, nippy first half.
The Lady Chargers got off to a quick start, scoring just as one minute ticked by and again with seven minutes on the board. Lillie Cate handled a cross from Laura Beth Turner and deposited it into the right side of the net to start the scoring. Turner then controlled a ball near the penalty spot, turned and fired the second goal.
“They got two crosses and two scores,” CCS coach Cal Sneller said. “That’s hard to defend when you have good crosses coming in and someone that’s just a little quicker running in the box.”
CCS continued to use its speed to control the pace in the first half, pressing Boyd-Buchanan with crisp passes and dangerous crosses.
One of those crosses came from Ella Brock and found Sarah O’Shea by the left post to make it 3-0. Brock then added a goal with 24:20 to go in the half, tumbling over the goalkeeper after slipping the ball past her on an assist from Cate.
