The Berwick GVS team bounces back with a win against Gann Academy
On a sunny end-of- September Tuesday, the Bulldogs came out strong against Gann Academy, displaying a calm confidence and some impressive passing sequences; they were able to capitalize on their solid playing with several (7) goals.
With those goals included, the Bulldogs had 19 shots on goal and 11 shots wide, as well as 10 corner kicks in this match.
In the 5th minute, Leah Zaheer '24 (West Newbury, MA) controlled the ball and passed it across from the left-hand side of the field to Alexa Garcia '26 (Dover, NH) who shot and scored the first goal. Two minutes later, the same pair worked together and added another number to the scoreboard, again with Garcia making the shot/goal, and Zaheer with the assist.
In the 31st minute, Griffin Demers '28 (Rochester, NH) shot and scored off a well-executed corner kick from Blake Metcalf '27 (Scarborough, ME).
Then, just six minutes later, Eliza Small '25 (Portsmouth, NH) scored the fourth goal of the game from 10 yards out. This goal came just after a crisp passing sequence from Tatum Sloper '27 (Scarborough, ME) to Small to Demers and back to Small.
With two minutes left in the half, with an assist from Demers, Sloper carried the ball down the center of the field and scored.
Each with her first career goal, Rachel Lochiatto '26 (York, ME) and Lucy Manley '24 (Newburyport, MA) scored the final two goals of the game.
At minute 53, following a kerfuffle among Gann defenders in the box, Lochiatto snagged the ball, shot and scored.
Then, with two minutes left on the clock, Tessa Keenan '24 (Exeter, NH) took a shot toward the goal which deflected off the defense and Manley threw her body at the ball, securing the final goal of the game.
The Bulldogs are 5-1-0 and will travel to Lexington Christian Academy on Tuesday. Go Bulldogs!
