Mauldin 4
Hillcrest 1


Mauldin supporters relaxed after their team scored a four-minute goal. However, their complacency was disturbed 15 minutes later when Hillcrest came back and equalized. Mauldin then restored a comfortable 3-1 half time lead and made the score 4-1 in the second half. Hillcrest never gave up. They could not match the Mauldin skills but determined and enthusiastic play caused Mauldin a few difficult moments.

An unusual game, as Hillcrest was the home team playing on what this season has become Mauldin’s hallowed turf. Two schools playing spring soccer with the addition of lacrosse and the grounds keeper is to be congratulated on turning a poor soccer surface into an excellent playing surface even this far into the season.

In addition, congratulations to Mauldin coach Laney Younts. His team was feisty, well balanced and fair and they were trying just as hard at the final whistle as at the game start. They were the first Hillcrest Girls soccer team to score on Mauldin in several years. Mauldin was the first team this season to beat Hillcrest by more than one goal.

Goals: Mauldin: Simpson; Whitney; Young; Schaidle
