Berwick Bulldogs beat Wheeler Warriors
On Saturday in the midday sun, the Bulldogs battled the Wheeler Warriors, ending the game with a 3-0 win and bringing the Berwick record to 3-0-0 on the season. The Bulldogs showed their strength and grit immediately when 11th grader Alexa Garcia (Dover, NH) made two shots on goal in the first six minutes.
Then, not even 10 minutes later, Garcia passed the ball to Senior Eliza Small (Portsmouth, NH) who drove the ball into the net, scoring the first goal.
In the 23rd minute, ninth grader and goalkeeper Julia Brennan (Exeter, NH) skillfully stopped a Wheeler shot with a front smother.
Seniors Eliza Small and Juliette Lohnes (Berwick, ME) made several impactful plays on defense throughout the game. Eleventh grader Leila Beakes (Rollinsford, NH) and 10th grader Liv Pate (Exeter, NH) also held a strong defensive line the whole game, keeping the Wheeler offense unable to capitalize on any of their shots.
With ten minutes left in the first half, Small ripped one off the crossbar. Then, minutes later, ninth grader Griffin Demers (Rochester, NH) rifled it into the back of the net for the 2-0 lead off a rebound from a Wheeler defender.
Then, with only two minutes left in the first half, Demers scored a second goal, bringing the score to 3-0. She made a beautiful shot up and over the Wheeler goalie after a skillful assist from 10th grader Emma Rich (Dover, NH).
The bulldogs spent the entire second half of the game in Wheeler’s end of the field, keeping their opponents on their toes.
The Bulldogs will play Kents Hill School away on Wednesday. Go Bulldogs!
