Berwick Academy Girls Varsity Soccer beats Winsor in EIL Semifinal Game
On a drizzly day, surrounded by an impressive number of supportive fans, The Bulldogs hosted an EIL Semifinal Game on 11/11, coming away with a win against The Winsor School. They beat Winsor 3-0, improving to 15-3-2 on the season. The Bulldogs had an 8-3 shot advantage over Winsor and a 5-2 corner kick advantage.

In the 5th minute of the game, Grace Libby (Standish, ME) defeated a few Winsor defenders and made a great cross to Tessa Keenan (Exeter, NH) who hit the first shot on frame. A few minutes later, off another great cross, Ginger Friedman (North Hampton, NH) made a full volley across the goal just wide.
In the 8th minute, The Bulldogs’ scored their first goal when Sevilla Coffin (Newburyport, MA) passed the ball to Grace Libby who took advantage of the fact that the Winsor goalie was on the ground, and she shot the ball up and over the goalie and into the net.
In the 35th minute, Nat Jacuch (Newington, NH) scored off a skillful volley shot after Chili Dowd (Amesbury, MA) drove her a beautiful cross.
The Bulldogs didn’t waste time, and two minutes later, Grace Libby stole the ball from a Winsor player, dribbled past the Winsor goalie who was on the ground, and shot and scored the third goal of the game.
Goalie Allie Moore (North Berwick, ME) ended the first half with a gorgeous save.
The Bulldogs held their own in the second half, creating some great passing sequences, and the strong defensive line as well as goalies Allie Moore and Cam Hamilton (South Berwick, ME) prevented Winsor from scoring.
The Bulldogs will play at Pingree School on Saturday, 11/12 at 2 pm in an EIL Final game. Go Bulldogs!
