Bulldogs lose to Pingree in the EIL Semifinals but remain hopeful for a NEPSAC bid
The Bulldogs traveled to Pingree School to take on the Highlanders for the second time this season, this time in the EIL semifinals. The Berwick team fell short but are hoping for a chance at the NEPSACs. The Bulldogs are 13-5-1 on the season.
Pingree scored two goals in the first six minutes of the game, and the third goal also in the first half, but the Bulldogs did not let this stop them from working hard for the full 80 minutes. The Bulldogs especially stepped up in the second half of the game, and they didn't allow a goal in the run of play in the second half.
Carly Shumway '29 (Wells, ME) had a chance on a breakaway, and Sophia DeSimone '28 (Dover, NH) took a strong shot to the top corner that went bar down and out. DeSimone's shot was the closest the Bulldogs got to scoring in this match. Leila Beakes '26 (Rollinsford, NH) played an amazing game on defense and cleared the ball many times to keep Pingree from putting more on the scoreboard.
Bulldogs' Goalkeeper Alexa Garcia '26 (Dover, NH) played the full 80 minutes and made 15 saves. The Bulldogs will hold their heads high and be proud of the season they have had thus far as they wait to hear if they will get a NEPSAC bid.
Go Bulldogs!
