Bulldogs suffer first loss of the season
The Bulldogs hosted Holderness School on Wednesday 10/8 for a non-league NEPSAC Class C matchup, and came up short against the Blue Bulls. Despite sending Holderness home with a 1-0 win, the Bulldogs battled steadily throughout the game against a very athletic Holderness team.
Fifteen minutes into the first half, goalkeeper Alexa Garcia ‘26 (Dover, NH) made a beautiful diving save, punching the ball up and away from the net. Berwick’s Athletic Trainer Holly Bennett described this particular save as that of a superhero.
The Bulldogs maintained solid pressure and displayed great composure defensively against Holderness, and in particular, against #14, a force on the Holderness offensive line. The Bulldogs also kept the pressure on offensively, taking shots when they could, albeit not capitalizing on them in this match. Still, they held their own and were able to keep the first half scoreless.
The Bulldogs battled throughout the second half, only allowing Holderness to score one goal with 11 minutes left on the clock. This did not deter the Berwick team, however, as they played hard until the final whistle.
The Bulldogs are now 8-1-1 on the season and are prepared to travel and take on Newton Country Day School to close out the week.
