Game Summary:
League game
at Berwick Academy
vs. Winsor School
Berwick 0 Winsor School 2
Winsor School beat the Berwick Bulldogs 2-0 on Saturday at Berwick, making it the Bulldogs' first loss of the season, and bringing their record to 4-1-0 on the season.
The Bulldogs took on a strong and physical team from Winsor School, and due to a strong defensive line and a Bulldog team that practiced patience, they kept the score 0-0 through the first half.
Eight minutes into the match, Winsor had a chance on a free kick, but the ball went high over the net. The Bulldogs and the Wildcats faced each other in several battles in the middle of the field. Despite some skillful passing sequences between the Winsor players, the Bulldogs kept them at bay for much of the game by filling in the gaps and keeping them in the Wildcats' defensive half or at the center of the field.
With 11 minutes on the clock in the first half, Winsor had another chance to score but 11th grader and goalkeeper Alexa Garcia (Dover, NH) pushed the ball out in front of her from a lying-down position, but Winsor didn't capitalize on the chance.
Again, Garcia made a beautiful save when two minutes before halftime, she punched the ball up off a Winsor shot. The ball hit the crossbar causing a skuffle in the box that ended when the Bulldogs kicked the ball out.
The Winsor team earned their second goal on a penalty kick.
The Bulldogs have a busy week coming up with three games, beginning with a match at Gann Academy on Tuesday.
Go Bulldogs!
