Berwick Girls Varsity Soccer Team loses to Proctor Academy
After a valiant battle on their home turf against Proctor Academy on Wed, 10/26, the Bulldogs lost 0-1, bringing them to 12-2-1 on the season. The Hornets came to Berwick seeking revenge and redeemed themselves after having lost to the Bulldogs in the last minute of last year’s NEPSAC quarterfinal.
The Bulldogs were put to the test early in the game when Proctor had five shots on goal in the first 10 minutes. Proctor had a 15-4 shot advantage over the Bulldogs, and the Bulldogs had a 4-3 corner kick advantage over Proctor.
Thirteen minutes into the game, Chili Dowd (Amesbury, MA) gave the Bulldogs their best chance of the match when she beat multiple defenders and got a left-footed shot off. Unfortunately, it missed the goal, but it put the Bulldogs in a threatening position near Proctor’s goal. The Bulldogs kept the pressure on and kept the game scoreless at the half.
In the 65th minute of the game, a Proctor player beat a few Berwick players, dribbled it straight into the box, and shot the ball into the back right corner of the net, giving Proctor their one and only goal of the game.
The Bulldogs fought hard until the end, playing against an athletic and talented Proctor team. The Bulldogs have 4 regular season games ahead of them, and they will travel to Rhode Island this Saturday, 10/29 to play Portsmouth Abbey. The Bulldogs are hopeful that they’ll qualify for the EIL and NEPSAC tournaments. Go Bulldogs!
