In a game between Highland County counterparts and rivals, the non-conference showdown between the Hillsboro Lady Indians and Lynchburg-Clay Lady Mustangs went in favor of the visiting LCHS squad as they controlled the scoring in the 80-minute contest, winning by a 7-1 score.

The Wednesday night soccer match played at Hillsboro High School left the Lady Mustangs with an overall record of 12-2-0 overall, as they are 6-0-0 in Southern Hills Athletic Conference play.

 


LC led by a 3-1 score at halftime as three different players put the ball in the back of the net against Hillsboro in the first half. The Lady Mustangs’ first goal was from Belle Brinkman with the assist from Kaylee Lunsford with 37:50 left on the scoreboard.

Next was an unassisted goal from Peyton Scott at the 29:11 mark, then an unassisted goal from Riley Creditt with 23:26 left the Lady Mustangs ahead by three goals.

Hillsboro scored their lone goal of the game with 15:56 left in the first half by Callan Myers.

The second half was more of the same for the Lady Mustangs with their lead increasing to 4-1 following an own goal by Hillsboro. Next was an unassisted goal from Lunsford at the 18:59 mark, followed by a second goal from Scott — with the assist by Lunsford — at the 6:57 mark for a 6-1 lead.

Lynchburg-Clay’s final goal was scored by Raelynn Ruble with 4:55 left in regulation.

At the goal, keeper Serena Smith finished with six saves, including four in the second half. LC took a total of 21 shots at goal, with 12 coming in the first half.

Hillsboro keepers Alli Gaines and Christine Page combined for seven saves. HHS took a total of seven shots at goal, four in the first half.

LC has one regular-season game remaining on their schedule as they will be facing the Fairfield Lady Lions on Friday, Oct. 12 at 5 p.m. A win by LC would clinch a sixth straight perfect season in SHAC action.

The Lady Mustangs currently have a 59-consecutive game streak without a loss in the SHAC with record of 58-0-1 in the span. LC has not lost a SHAC game since Sept. 24, 2010 to Eastern Brown by a 2-1 score.
