TUESDAY NIGHT HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS - Lexington edge Chapin in boys soccer

Posted

On a day several schools were forced to reschedule games, both Lexington soccer teams were able to complete Region 5-5A contests against Chapin. 
In the boys' contest, the Wildcats won 1-0 on a 1st half goal by Sam Pent. Lexington (9-7-1, 4-3)  plays host to River Bluff Thursday in a contest which could determine 2nd place in Region 5-5A.
The Gators clinch 2nd place with a victory, while a loss ties them with the Wildcats. 
Meanwhile, the loss may have ended Chapin's run of 3 consecutive state title appearances. The Eagles (7-8, 3-5) currently stand in 4th place in Region 5-5A and can only qualify for the Class 5A playoffs with an at-large berth. 
They play host to A.C. Flora Friday. 


GIRLS SOCCER 
Chapin 0, Lexington 0 (Lady Eagles win on PKs)
For the second straight time, the Lady Eagles and Lady Wildcats played through a scoreless regulation and 2 overtimes. 
Chapin (6-8-2, 3-5) once again prevailed on penalty kicks to finish Region 5-5A play at 3-5. Based on the tiebreaker, the Lady Eagles can claim the 3rd playoff spot out of Region 5-5A if Lexington (8-9-1, 3-4) loses to 13th-nationally-ranked and undefeated River Bluff Thursday at home.


Dutch Fork 2, Irmo 2 (DF wins on PKs 3-1)
Goals by Lainey Coleman, Erin Thielbar and Lauren Riehm lifted the Silver Foxes to victory in the battle of Irmo. 
Dutch Fork (4-12, 1-6) travels to White Knoll Friday. Irmo (6-8, 3-4) travels to Westwood Wednesday.


BASEBALL
Gilbert 8, Edisto 1

Ashby Vining and Wesley Brown both went 2-3 and Andy Jackson improved to 4-0 for the Indians (12-6, 5-2).
