Berwick Bulldogs play hard but lose to Dana Hall School
On Wednesday, October 4, in summer-like heat, the Berwick Bulldogs took on Dana Hall School; the Bulldogs fought until the end against a fast team, but came away with a 0-1 loss.
Twenty-six minutes into the game, Dana Hall had their first good chance after a flurry in the box that ended with the Berwick defenders winning the ball and sending it to the other end of the field. The first half of the game took place mostly in the Bulldogs' defensive half.
Berwick also had a chance when Griffin Demers '28 (Rochester, NH) got a shot off a corner kick but the Dana Hall keeper made the save.
Berwick Goalkeeper Allie Moore '24 (North Berwick, ME) made a great diving save just before halftime. With two minutes on the clock, Ginger Friedman '24 (North Hampton, NH) made a beautiful cross from the right side of the field, but the Bulldogs couldn't finish it. The game was scoreless at the half.
Two minutes into the second half, a Dana Hall offensive player scored from inside the box.
With 17 minutes left on the clock, Berwick's Moore carried it down the field and shot on goal, giving the Bulldogs another close chance. Then, with two minutes left on the clock, Goalkeeper Alexa Garcia '26 (Dover, NH) made a great save. Likewise, the Bulldog defenders played tirelessly throughout the game.
Just minutes before the end of the game, off a corner kick, Maddie Laffaye '27 (Sandown, NH) shot the ball into the net after it deflected off several Dana Hall defenders in a chaotic situation in the box. Unfortunately, the goal was called back by the officials.
The Bulldogs are 7-2-0 on the season and will play Hebron Academy on Friday at home. Go Bulldogs!
