It was a beautiful Wednesday evening in October, and the perfect night to honor 6 special seniors on Dock Girls Soccer team against Calvary Christian Academy. Dock started off the game with a high level of intensity and composure, but it took some time for them to earn their first goal of the match. In the17th minute of the game, Ashley Brown broke free off a throw in from Billinda Leisner. Brown found herself inside the box and tucked away a near post shot to earn the first goal of the game. Less than 2 minutes later, Brown found senior, Billinda Leisner, with the diagonal far side run. Leisner made the run through Calvary’s back line to find herself one on one with the goalie. Leisner placed a low shot to the far post to bring Dock’s lead to 2-0.  Less than 10 minutes to go in the first half, senior Ashley Lapp battled to find her open run down the right flank. With a quick combination pass with a center mid, Lapp found Brown open in the middle. Brown immediately found the space through to senior Billinda Leisner making the run. Leisner took a quick tough around Calvary’s goalkeeper for the easy tap in to earn the 3^rd goal of the game. Within 45 seconds, Leisner found Brown with the open space run behind Calvary’s back line for the far post placement to earn her second goal of the night. The Lapp sisters worked together in the attacking third, and senior Ashley Lapp found herself taking the ball to Calvary’s end line. She placed the perfect slotted ball across to freshman Cora Gillespie, who easily found the back of the net to finalize the score 5-0 going into halftime. Having two sets of sisters on the field, there’s no denying their chemistry on and off the field. With 28 minutes to go in the game, senior sister, Olivia Moyer, battled through Calvary’s center backs to find herself one on one with Calvary’s goalkeeper. Selflessly, she found her sister, freshman, Tessa Moyer with the supporting run and gave her the perfect pass. Tessa found the easy pass into the back of the net to give Dock the 6-0. With 10 minutes left in the game, Dock’s other sister duo, Ashley and Shelby Lapp, proved just how strong sister chemistry can be. Junior Eden Loux stayed composed in the central midfield to find Shelby Lapp checking into the open space. Shelby knew her sister was making the run behind Calvary’s defensive line and found her with the perfect through ball. Senior Ashley Lapp took one touch around Calvary’s goalkeeper and placed her shot in the middle of the net to finalize the score 7-0. Dock Girls Soccer faces off against Lansdale Catholic on Saturday, October 7^th at 1:00pm during Dock’s homecoming weekend.
