The annual clash of the Bulldogs: Berwick Academy brings home a win against Bancroft
On Thursday, Sept. 14, the Berwick Bulldogs travelled to Worcester, MA, to compete against Bancroft School on a bright and sunny afternoon, and brought home a 6-0 score.
In the 11th minute, Emma Rich (Dover, NH) turned the corner on the left flank, beat a defender and slotted the ball to Griffin Demers (Rocheter, NH). Demers, with too much power for the Bancroft goalie to handle, shot the ball into the back of the net and scored the first goal of the game.
In the 22nd minute, Maddie Laffaye (Sandown, NH) made a great run and crossed the ball from the top left corner of the field to Leah Zaheer (West Newbury, MA). From the right-hand side of the 18, Zaheer then gave an assist to Demers who added another goal to the scoreboard.
Twenty-five minutes in, Olivia Pate (Exeter, NH) passed the ball on the ground to Alexa Garcia (Dover, NH). Garcia played the ball behind the defense to Laffaye, who lofted the ball to the back post, where Kaya Garside (Portsmouth, NH) made a run and knocked it in the goal.
With seven minutes to go in the first half, Tessa Keenan (Exeter, NH) set up Garcia for a shot off a free kick and Garcia scored.
Three minutes into the second half, from an assist from Ginger Friedman (North Hampton, NH), Zaheer shot the ball into the keeper’s right side netting and scored a beautiful goal.
In the 66th minute of the game, Keenan shot the ball into the top right corner of the net off an assist from Friedman.
Alexa Garcia and Allie Moore (North Berwick, ME) combined for the Bulldogs’ second shutout of the season. The Berwick Bulldogs are now 2-0-0 and will travel to Wheeler School on Monday, Sept. 18.
Go Bulldogs!
