After suffering a tough loss to Hilton Head Christian Academy at home last week, Beaufort Academy’s boys soccer team turned the table Monday in Bluffton, as freshman Grady Lamm netted the game-winner in extra time and BA held on for a 3-2 victory and a season split.
After winning 2-0 last Tuesday on Lady’s Island, HHCA led 1-0 at halftime in the rematch on its home turf, but Ben Lubkin found the back of the net with a header to pull the Eagles even.
Miles Spratling gave BA the lead with a header with three minutes left in regulation, but HHCA answered in the final minute to force extra time. Lamm broke through in the first extra period and BA salted away a satisfying victory.
BA is now 10-2-1 in coach Ian Leslie’s first season at the helm just a year after a winless campaign interrupted a long run of success for the proud program.
“The boys showed amazing resilience to beat a very tough Hilton Head Christian team, overcoming injury and sickness,” Leslie said. “I’m particularly proud of all four of our seniors stepping up to lead the way.”
The Eagles travel to Holy Trinity on Friday.
