The Lady Indians rebounded after a pair of losses, grabbing a 6-2 home win over Stephens County on Thursday.

With a 4-2 lead at the half, the girls were able to add another couple tallies in the second half to secure the victory.

Honora Kahwach and Jenna Chesser scored 2 goals apiece, while Addie Higbie and Gemma Farris also scored. Kahwach also had 2 assists, while Higbie and Chesser had one assist each.

“After conceding wins to several ranked opponents, we were hungry for a win this evening,” says coach Travis Mullis. “They played well overall and capitalized on key opportunities while making fewer defensive errors. Missed Kat [Williams] to a tournament with her national team and Tessa [Foor] to injury, but both will be back soon.”

With Kahwach’s pair of goals, she reaches 26 for her career, which ties the school career goals record held also by Ashton Boyd (’12-’14). Her next goal will make her the school’s all-time leading goal scorer. Higbie, with a team-high 12 goals on the season, is right on her heels with 19 career.

The Lady Indians are now 3-4 overall, and will take on Loganville Christian in a region match on March 11.
