The Berwick Bulldogs win home opener against Kents Hill
Girls Varsity Soccer Score Berwick Academy 5 Kents Hill School 1
The Bulldogs added another win to their record on Wednesday when they played their first home game of the season against a determined and physical team from Kents Hill School.
With a shot on goal already in the first minute of the game, the Berwick Girls Varsity Soccer Team came out strong and stood their ground
the whole match.
In the 5th minute, off a throw-in from Leila Beakes (Rollinsford, NH), Blake Matcalf (Scarborough, ME) carried the ball and shot it from the left-hand side from inside the box.
Three minutes later, Ginger Friedman (North Hampton, NH), who had shot on goal in the first minute of the game, capitalized on the shot this time and scored; after a notable diagonal ball to the flag, Metcalf laid it back to Friedman who confidently tucked the ball into the corner of the net.
Off a corner kick from Metcalf in the 12th minute, Griffin Demers (Rochester, NH) shot and scored from inside the corner of the 18. With only 13 minutes left in the first half, she also ripped the ball off the crossbar, almost adding another one to the scoreboard.
Just about 10 minutes into the second half, Tessa Keenan (Exeter, NH) skillfully dribbled the ball up the center of the field and passed it to Metcalf who slammed it into the goal from inside the 18.
Finally, in the 72nd minute, Tatum Sloper (Scarborough, ME) received the ball off a corner kick by Keenan, and passed it to Leah Zaheer (West Newbury, MA) who scored with a powerful shot into the top left corner of the goal.
With three minutes to go, Kents Hill scored a goal, bringing the end result to 5-1.
Goalie Allie Moore (North Berwick, ME) was steady and composed for the entirety of the game.
The Berwick Bulldogs are now 4-0-0 and hope to hold onto their streak as they travel to Boston on Saturday to play Winsor School.
Go Bulldogs!
