First Win for The Bulldogs

The Bulldogs traveled to Bethel, ME for the opening game of the 2023 season at Gould Academy on a hot day with a risk of thunderstorms and came away with a win.

 

In the 15th minute the Bulldogs almost got on the board when Emma Rich (Dover, NH) broke through the Gould defense and hit the left post. In the 33rd minute Juliette Lohnes (Berwick, ME) laid the ball back to Emma who this time placed a shot up over the Gould goalkeeper for a 1-0 lead, and what would be her first career goal and the game winner.  In the 35th minute Juliette set up another teammate Griffin Demers (Rochester, NH) who blasted a shot to the bottom left corner for her first career goal and the 2-0 lead that the Bulldogs would take to the halftime break.

 

The Bulldogs came out strong in the second half and in the 47th minute Allie Moore (N.Berwick) had a great defensive clear to Tessa Keenan (Exeter, NH) who dribbled up field and played Griffin a through ball but the Gould keeper came away with the save.  In the 54th minute Gould almost got on the board when a striker got behind the defense, but Alexa Garcia (Dover, NH) came away with a great breakaway save and Jess Wojdak (West Newbury, MA) cleared the rebound to keep Gould scoreless. In the 58th minute Alexa’s goalkick found Lohnes who earned her third assist of the match setting up Tatum Sloper (Scarborough, ME) for her first career goal and a 3-0 lead.  In the 66th minute Taylor Anderton (Exeter, NH) set up Maddie Laffaye (Sandown, NH) who shot bottom left for her first career goal and the Bulldogs 4th goal of the game.

 

Alexa Garcia and Allie Moore combined in net for the Bulldogs first shutout of the season.  The Bulldogs are now 1-0-0 on the season and will host Tilton School on Wednesday 9/13.  Go Bulldogs!
