Bulldogs hold on to their winning streak
Despite a number of injuries on the team, Berwick’s Girls Varsity Soccer Squad grabbed another shut-out on their home turf and kept their winning streak going against Lexington Christian Academy (LCA) on Wednesday. The Bulldogs improved to 8-0-0 on the season in a 2-0 match with a 15 to 3 shot advantage and a 5 to 2 edge on corner kicks.
During the first half of the game, both teams had chances but did not capitalize on them, keeping the tension building. In the 8th minute of the game, the Bulldogs had their first good opportunity to score off a corner kick when LCA had a save off a rebound from Allie Moore (North Berwick, ME). Then, with 10 minutes left in the first half, LCA took a shot but it was too wide, keeping the score 0-0 at the half.
The Bulldogs ramped up the energy and excitement in the second half, and took control of the game when Parker Roenick (Exeter, NH) scored off a corner kick from Grace Libby (Standish ME). This shifted the tenor of the game, and the Bulldogs held their own for the rest of the match.
Only four minutes later, Parker Roenick scored the second goal when Grace Libby played a ball behind the LCA defense and passed to Roenick who shot and scored with authority.
With 19 minutes left in the game, goalie Cam Hamilton (South Berwick, ME) prevented an LCA goal when she stepped confidently out of the box and kicked the ball on the ground out and up the left side of the turf.
The Bulldogs will travel to Chestnut Hill, MA, to take on Beaver Country Day on Friday, Sept. 30. Go Bulldogs!
