The Beaufort Academy girls soccer team is gearing up for a rematch with crosstown rival Holy Trinity — the team the Eagles beat for the SCISA 2A title a year ago — and another playoff run, and BA faced a tough test Wednesday with a visit from SCISA 3A foe Palmetto Christian Academy.
Kathryn Plumhoff netted a hat trick, Madi McDougal added a goal, and Claire Tumlin had an assist, but the Eagles came up short in a 4-3 defeat.
BA’s boys salvaged the evening with a 3-2 win in the nightcap, though, as Andrew Butterfield scored a brace and Brayden Savage added a goal for the Eagles.
Both BA teams are off this week before finishing with a flurry of key region games to prep for the playoffs, including the girls’ showdown with Holy Trinity on May 2. The Mighty Lions won 3-1 on March 5 to avenge last season’s state championship defeat and are undefeated, though they’ve played a limited schedule.
