BOONSBORO -- The reason why Boonsboro-Smithsburg girls soccer has become one of Washington County's great high school sports rivalries is because much more than bragging rights is usually at stake when the Warriors and Leopards meet.
Wednesday night's matchup was no different.
Kayla Walsh scored off Lauren Hensley's corner kick in the final moments of the game to lift No. 4 Boonsboro to a 1-0 victory over No. 5 Smithsburg in a battle of the last two teams unbeaten in MVAL Antietam Conference play.
"(The ball) bounced around everywhere, it hit off the goalie and I just picked up the trash. I was in the right place at the right time," said Walsh of her game-winning goal. "It's so exciting to beat them. They're huge rivals."
While the Leopards (6-4, 4-1), last year's Antietam champs, concluded their conference schedule, the Warriors (7-3, 4-0) still have one game left. They need to beat Catoctin on Oct. 17 to win their first Antietam crown. Catoctin's only conference setback this season was a 4-0 loss to Smithsburg last week.
