Re: she shoots, she scores I have to proudly admit that it's a Canadian phrase coined by Foster Hewitt meaning the player is scoring a hockey goal. Have a look at the website and you can find bits and pieces of information regarding the origins of this phrase.

Re: she shoots, she scores It could well have a figurative meaning also. It's used in the "mating game", to mean that someone has achieved some success in "scoring" with the object of their affection.

{Joan leaves, starts talking to the guy and they leave the bar together}
Mary: [to Beth] She shoots, she scores.
