Bulldogs win last game of the regular season
The Bulldogs played their final regular season game on Wednesday, Nov. 8, on their home turf against Concord Academy, finishing with a 1-0 win. It was the Bulldogs' 14th shutout of the season, and they played hard on a chilly and windy day.
Early in the game, eight minutes in, Blake Metcalf '27 (Scarborough, ME) secured the one and only goal of the game for the Bulldogs. Off a great through ball from Griffin Demers '28 (Rochester, NH), Metcalf carried it up the field, took a shot and the Concord goalie saved it; the ball ricocheted and Metcalf ran onto it and buried it in the back of the net.
Ten minutes later, Goalkeeper Allie Moore '24 (North Berwick, ME) made an impressive save by punching the ball up and away from the goal. This was one of the nine saves she made in the first half.
The second half of the game brought an equal level of intensity from both teams. With twenty minutes left on the clock, Goalkeeper Alexa Garcia '26 (Dover, NH) made a beautiful diving save, preventing what easily could have been Concord's chance to tie the score. Then, ten minutes after that, a Concord offensive player carried the ball almost all the way to the goal, attempted to take a shot, but Garcia grabbed the ball again with composure.
With five minutes left, Senior Ginger Friedman (North Hampton, NH) hit a great head ball on frame, but the Concord goalie made the save.
The Bulldogs are now 12-3-4 on the season. They will be the fourth seed in the EIL tournament and travel to Pingree School on Friday. The Bulldogs should qualify for the NEPSAC tournament with the win over Concord, as they remain undefeated against class C opponents.
