The Bulldogs added another win to their record, beating Beaver Country Day School 1-0. The game was very physical and fast-paced, and the Bulldogs kept the pressure on the whole 80 minutes. The Bulldogs are 7-0-0 on the season.
In the first half of the game, goalkeeper Alexa Garcia ‘26 (Dover, NH) had a long punt that led to a possible scoring chance for Berwick, but we couldn’t quite capitalize on it.
With six minutes left in the first half, Rylee White ‘29 (Fremont, NH) took a strong shot on goal from within the six, but the Beaver goalie caught it.
The Bulldogs had another chance two minutes later. There was a long ball forward, the Beaver goalie hit it out and was momentarily out of the goal when Tatum Sloper ‘27 (Scarborough, ME) made a strong shot that the Beaver goalie stopped.
With two minutes left in the half, Sophia DeSimone ‘28 (Dover, NH) played a great ball to Phoebe Yaris ‘29 (Raymond, NH) who poked it into the goal under a diving Beaver goalkeeper, scoring the one goal of the game.
The Bulldogs battled through the second half of the match, successfully keeping the Beaver Beavers off the scoreboard.
