Kings Mountain High's girls
soccer team won three more
games last week to run their
record to 4-0 in the
Southwestern 3A Conference
and 12-1 overall.
The Lady Mountaineers de-
feated Statesville 4-0, South
Point 6-1 and R-S Central 4-3.
Statesville, a perennial power
in Western North Carolina,
fielded a young team but still
played extremely well against
the more-experienced
Mountaineers.
“Although we dominated
possession of the ball and terri-
torial play, we struggled to fin-
ish many good scoring
opportunities in the first half,”
said KM Coach Dan Potter.
Kings Mountain outshot
Statesville 23-5, but it was al-
most 30 minutes into the game
before Meredith Ware scored
from 20 yards out for a 1-0 lead.
Twelve minutes into the sec-
ond half Jenni Wilson ham-
mered in a goal off a perfect
crossing pass from Meredith
Ware to make it 2-0. Stephanie
Edwards and Katie Bennett
added goals later to round out
the scoring. Lesley Potter fin-
ished with three assists.
“Our defensive backs did a
super job of limiting a danger-
ous pair of front runners to only
12 shots,” Potter said. “Heather
Kubu, Emily Owens, Lauren
Horne, and Stephanie Owens
combined with Melissa Cook to
record the seventh shutout in 11
matches.”
Kings Mountain broke open a
close game in the second half to
defeat South Point 6-1. Katie
Bennett scored three minutes
into the game off a pass from
Lesley Potter, and with nine
minutes left in the half Jenni
Wilson scored for a 2-0 lead.
