Lady Bishops lacrosse continues to dominate

Philip Simmons tracksters claim gold
The Bishop England High School girls’ lacrosse team seems primed to claim another state championship if the first five games of the 2022 season are any indication.
 
Coach Jeff Weiner’s crew has been beyond dominant, outscoring opponents 88-4. One of the victories was an 18-0 conquest of Philip Simmons on March 9. The Bishops pounded Fort Mill 18-1 on March 13 at Jack Cantey Stadium. The game was originally scheduled for March 12, but inclement weather and high winds forced the postponement.
 
The beat goes on for the Bishops, who won their fifth straight state championship last spring with an 18-0 mark, outscoring foes 325-34.
 
“This team is right up there with my best teams of past seasons,” said Weiner, who owns a 160-31 record since being named coach in time for the 2010 season. “The main thing is our depth this season. I currently have three starters who are out with injuries, and the girls taking their place are just as good.”
 
They have a 69-match winning streak heading into this week’s action when they face some formidable foes. The Bishops were scheduled to play Oceanside Collegiate Academy on March 15 in a rematch of last year’s state championship. The Bishops topped the Land Sharks for all the Class AAAA marbles, 25-2. The team travels to Eastside on March 18 and ventures to Riverside the following day.
 
Henley Bredemann leads the Bishops with 17 goals and 12 grounders. Elisabeth Tausig has collected 14 goals and has handed out 21 assists. France Poch has 18 assists. Goalkeeper Lizzy Tompkins has allowed only one goal.
