Prep Soccer: Boyle girls tie Tates Creek

September 24, 2009

The Boyle County girls held a one-goal lead for much of Wednesday's match with No. 15 Tates Creek, but the Commodores scored with 18 minutes to play and the game ended in a 1-1 tie.

The game was a rematch of Saturday's Little Caesars Classic final, won 1-0 by Tates Creek.

Boyle coach Brian Deem said Tates Creek (12-1-1) came out in a more aggressive formation.

"They put three forwards on our backs tonight, and I felt our defense did a fantastic job most of the game," he said. "We were able to stop any assaults they had, and were able to do a really good job of making sure that we kept their threats in front of us."

Kristan Paynter headed in a Kennedy Collier corner kick to give the No. 18 Rebels (9-3-2) a 1-0 halftime lead. It remained 1-0 until about 18 minutes to play when a Tates Creek player was able to corral a ball which squirted away from Boyle keeper Lucinda Combs and put it in to tie the game.

But the Rebels had their chances to win.

"We had six corner kicks in the final 10 minutes, and had all kinds of pressure on them," Deem said. "We had a couple of headers go high, we had a shot hit the goal post and their keeper had two saves."

Boyle will next face Danville at 4 p.m. Saturday in the Constitution Cup.

"I fully anticipate a highly emotional game. It's going to be a tough game for us," Deem said. "Danville has done a fantastic job defensively this year. We'll definitely have our work cut out for us."
