Bishop Scores 7 To Lead Saline Over Salem

Chelsey Bishop scored five straight goals in the game’s first five minutes and finished with seven markers as Saline trounced Salem 13-3 in varsity lacrosse action Tuesday.

The Saline sophomore seemed able to score at will, posting all five goals as Saline jumped to an early 5-0 lead and never looked back as the Hornets improved to 2-1.

“Early in the game they were guarding me normalyl and I was able to get to the crease,” said Bishop, who played on the varsity team as a freshman last season and also plays in travel leagues. “Later on, they always had two or three people guarding me and it was tougher to get near the net.”

Deb Elliot is coaching the Lady Hornets once again as young program enters its second year.

“Chelsey has a basketball background and she knows how to cut. She’s speedy and she’s a natural,” Elliot said.

Meredith Phillips scored three goals, Amelia Waters scored twice and Eryn Healy added a goal to complete Saline’s scoring. Lexi O’Connor, Rose Krasofsky and Shannon Fitzpatrick scored for Salem.
