Berwick Academy Girls Varsity Soccer loses to Pingree in EIL Final
The Berwick Bulldogs played hard and battled a strong Pingree team in the EIL Final Game at Pingree on Saturday, 11/12. For 68 minutes, the Bulldogs kept the game scoreless, giving the Pingree team a reason to feel anxious. Despite working hard, the Bulldogs ultimately could not prevent Pingree from scoring their two goals in those final twelve minutes of the game. The Bulldogs moved to 15-4-2 on the season.
Despite Pingree getting their first shot on goal in the first three minutes of the game, the Bulldogs kept them at bay for most of the 80 minutes, preventing them from scoring until the end.
In the 6th minute, goalkeeper Allie Moore (North Berwick, ME) punched the ball out of the goal off a Pingree corner kick.
In the 25th minute, Grace Libby (Standish, ME) made a great tackle and fought for the ball relentlessly. The Bulldogs had several chances by the goal, but could not capitalize on them.
Thirty minutes in, Allie Moore made another impressive save; she skillfully leapt up in the air and caught the ball high above her head.
In the 38th minute, the Bulldogs created a beautiful passing sequence from Grace Libby to Ginger Friedman (North Hampton, NH) to Juliette Lohnes (Berwick, ME) up the sideline.
The second half of the Final Game was filled with the same energy and motivation as the first, and while Pingree ultimately won the game, the Bulldogs held their own and played hard and kept the pressure on all the way through.
With twelve minutes to go, a Pingree offensive player carried the ball past some Berwick defenders, up to the goal, and scored. With only 5 minutes left, Pingree scored a second time.
A minute later, with only four minutes left of the game, goalie Allie Moore punched a ball up and away from the goal, displaying her commitment to her team right up to the very end of the game.
The Bulldogs will keep their season going next week when they host a NEPSAC playoff game Wednesday, 11/16. Go Bulldogs!
