The Bulldogs hosted Lexington Christian Academy in a Girls Soccer Eastern Independent league matchup on the turf at Berwick Academy on Wednesday September 25th at 4:15pm a quick turnaround from their 3-0 win on the road at Gann just yesterday and came away with a 0-0 tie and their 5th shutout of the season.
 
The Bulldogs struggled to create many quality chances in the first half while LCA broke through the Berwick defense on four occasions for shots on goal and had the better of chances in the opening half.  The Bulldogs played better in the second half creating more chances and being more dangerous in the offensive third.  Griffin Demers '28 (Rochester NH) and Leila Beakes '26 (Rollinsford, NH) played particularly well for the Bulldogs.  The Bulldogs had a 6-2 advantage on corners and a 9-6 advantage on shots on goal over the full 80 minutes.  Defensively the Bulldogs managed the dangerous attack from LCA better in the second half, and were able to neutralize a fury in the box with multiple blocked shots and clearances to keep the game scoreless.  The Bulldogs best chance came with 5 minutes remaining when Alexa Garcia '26 (Dover, NH) broke through on a diagonal ball, touched it around the LCA keeper, but couldn't get a good enough angle to put it in the back of the net.  The remaining minutes felt like they lasted forever with stoppage time and numerous back and forth plays, but the game remained scoreless.  Juliette Lohnes '25 (Berwick, ME) and Eliza Small '25 (Portsmouth, NH) were crucial in helping keep the Lions off the scoreboard and helping Alexa Garcia '26 (Dover, NH) and Julia Brennan '28 (Exeter NH) combine for the Bulldogs 5th shutout.
 
Lexington Christian is now 4-2-2 while the Bulldogs are 5-1-1 on the season, and will travel to Beaver Country Day School on Friday 9/27 for another EIL match and a NEPSAC class C game.
Go Bulldogs!
