On a night where Addie Higbie scored 4 times and set herself as the new single-season goals leader in school history, the Lady Indians earned a dominant 5-0 win at Loganville Christian.
The win gives TFS a second win in a row and second region victory simultaneously. Higbie came in with 12 goals on the season, just 3 off the single-season school record of 15 set in 2017 by Maria Whitson. The 4 goals give the junior her third hat trick of the season and fourth of her career. She already tied the school record with a 5-goal game earlier this season.
Higbie scored on a right-side cross from Gemma Farris to open the scoring. She then added a corner kick goal, assisted by Tessa Foor to put TFS up 2-0, which held to the break.
In the second half, Higbie went back to work, scoring off the dribble on an unassisted goal to push the lead up to 3-0. She then added her fourth and final goal, which set a new single-season school record, on a left-side cross coming from Meredith Morris. Maddie LeBlanc scored off a free kick later, assisted by Kat Williams for the 5-0 lead. Kyndal Anderson secured another clean sheet victory between the posts.
“It was a strong team effort by the entire roster, including subs,” states coach Travis Mullis, who pointed out the stellar play of Anderson, defending by Josie Chesser, Caroline Moseley, Leah Desta, and Millie Holcomb. “We had terrific transition by our midfielders,” added Mullis, referring to Williams, Maddie Mullis, and LeBlanc. “And we had fine finishes by Higbie, Foor, and Farris,” he adds.
The Lady Indians are now 2-1 in Region 8-A Private and 4-4 overall. With Higbie’s 16 goals on the season, she now stands at 23 in her career. That puts her just 3 off the school’s all-time goals mark, which is held by Ashton Boyd (’12-’14) and current senior Honora Kahwach, whose next goal would make her the all-time leader. Both Kahwach and Higbie will likely take turns setting the record this season.
Anderson’s shutout was her second of the season and fourth of her career, and the 38 goals scored this season for the Lady Indians surpasses last year’s record of 37.
