On Friday, October. 23, the Girls Varsity Soccer Team travelled to Worcester, MA,  to play Bancroft School on a clear, crisp afternoon. They won this battle of the bulldogs 6-0. It was the Berwick Bulldogs’ 10th win, bringing them to 10-2-1 on the season. 

In the fourth minute of the match, Phoebe Yaris ’29 (Raymond, NH) passed the ball to Liv Pate ’27 (Exeter, NH) who took a shot on goal; the Bancroft goalie deflected the shot, but Taylor Caffelle ’29 (Somersworth, NH) shot and scored the Bulldogs’ first goal of the game and only goal of the first half. 

Then, in the 50th minute, Senior Tatum Sloper ’27 (Scarborough, ME) kicked the ball over a Bancroft defender to Rylee White ’29 (Fremont, NH) who passed the ball to Sophia DeSimone ’28 (Dover, NH) who took a shot from outside the 18 and scored. 

Three minutes later, Liv Pate ran onto the ball and scored off a corner kick from Carly Shumway ’29 (Wells, ME). 

At minute 63, Caffelle shot and scored her second goal of the match off an assist from Shumway. 

With four minutes to go in the game, Harper Hunter ’29 (Wolfeboro, NH) played a beautiful square ball to Caroline Onken ’29 (Berwick, ME) who shot the ball into the back of the net, securing the Bulldogs’ 5th goal and Onken’s first career goal. 

Finally, in the last two minutes of the game, Hunter earned a penalty kick and scored the final goal, and also her first career goal. 

The Bulldogs will play two NEPSAC class C match-ups next week, at home vs. Proctor and away vs. Portsmouth Abbey. Go Bulldogs!
