Smithfield’s Three Goals Boost In The Second Half To Clinch The Win Against Lafayette High.
Smithfield Packer’s, ranked third in the Bay Rivers District, kicking off with district play this week in the regular season. If there were any lingering concerns about Smithfield’s lack of experience this girls’ soccer season, the Packer more than addressed them on Friday night. Utilizing a bend-not-break defense, including spectacular play from sophomore goalkeeper Abbie Epperson. Abbie step in big when starter goalkeeper Manila Forbes went down on an injury in the first quarter after a big play coming up with the save. Smithfield (4-2-1) netted three goals late in the second from Rebekah Christian, Sophia Christian and Maddie Vincent. The lady Packer have been consistent throughout the soccer season, and a well-rounded team that doesn’t have that one player that really stands out, but as a team they play well collectively.
