Bulldogs fall to Green Farms Academy in NEPSAC Quarterfinal game
Sarah Anderson
The Bulldogs traveled to the neutral site of Deerfield Academy on Wed, 11/12 to play the Green Farms Academy Dragons in the NEPSAC quarterfinal game. The Bulldogs played a strong game against a strong team, but ultimately fell to finish 13-6-1 on the season with 11 shutouts on the season.
Despite the Dragons dominating in the first half, Bulldog Sophia DeSimone '28 (Dover, NH) had a good shot off a corner kick. The entire Berwick squad worked hard to play a smart, defensive game and did not give up despite being down four goals at the half.
In the second half of the game, with 30 minutes left on the clock, a Green Farms defender cleared the ball and Bulldog Griffin Demers '28 (Rochester, NH) took a strong shot from outside the 18; the ball went up and over the goalie's head and into the net, making this Berwick's one goal of the game. The Bulldogs picked up the pace and played an even stronger final 30 minutes, getting more chances but just not being able to capitalize on them.
Bulldogs' Goalkeeper Alexa Garcia '26 (Dover, NH) played the full 80 minutes and made 9 saves. The Bulldogs should be proud of their exceptionally strong season and should hold their heads high.
Great season, Bulldogs!
