The Bulldogs defeat Beaver Country Day on Blue & White Day
On a sunny Saturday on their home turf, the GVS team made Berwick proud on Blue & White Day during a great game that ended with a 2-0 win against Beaver Country Day School. The Bulldogs had 13 shots on goal and 6 shots wide.
The two teams kept a solid battle going for most of the first half with no score until the Bulldogs broke that pattern when Griffin Demers '28 (Rochester, NH) passed the ball to Blake Mecalf '27 (Scarborough, ME) who carried it into the 6-yard box and slammed it into the back of the net.
A few minutes later, Tessa Keenan '24 (Exeter, NH) gave a through-ball to Alexa Garcia '26 (Dover, NH) who shot off a breakaway. The Beaver goalie made a diving save, but the Bulldogs asserted themselves as a threat.
The Bulldog defenders worked well consistently with the BA goalkeepers to keep the ball away from Beaver's offensive line for most of the game.
Early in the second half, at minute 47, Allie Moore '24 (North Berwick, ME) placed a beautiful shot into the 18 off a corner kick; after a scrum in the box, Leah Zaheer '24 (West Newbury, MA) passed the ball to Leila Beakes '26 (Rollinsford, NH) who rocketed the ball from outside the 18 above the Beaver goalie and scored the Bulldog's second goal.
With 7 minutes left in the game, Ginger Friedman '24 had a close chance at a goal when she headed the ball and it hit the crossbar.
Overall, the Berwick team played with energy until the final whistle. The Bulldogs are 7-1-0 on the season and will play Dana Hall School at home on Wednesday, Oct. 4.
Go Bulldogs!
