Stepping onto the turf on a beautiful fall day for the last home game of their high school careers, Berwick Academy seniors Eliza Small '25 (Portsmouth, NH), Juliette Lohnes '25 (Berwick, ME), Willow Turkel '25 (Rye, NH), and Neomi Groth '25 (Portsmouth, NH) were recognized and celebrated by their team in their Senior Game on Wednesday, Oct. 23.
The Bulldogs worked together as a clearly unified team to add a win to their record, beating the Proctor Academy Hornets 2-0, making it Berwick's 8th shutout of the season.
The Bulldogs had a 5-1 corner kick advantage over the Hornets, and they had a few solid opportunities off of these corner kicks.
Fifteen minutes into the game, Sophia DeSimone '28 (Dover, NH) took one of these corner kicks. Senior defender Eliza Small (Portsmouth, NH) skillfully passed it back to DeSimone, who made a big cross, hitting it past the goal to the back post. The ball just barely went over defender Leila Beakes '26 (Rollinsford, NH), and Emma Rich '27 (Dover, NH) slammed it into the back of the net, scoring the Bulldogs' first goal.
With two minutes left on the clock in the first half, Goalkeeper Alexa Garcia '26 (Dover, NH) lofted the ball from near the left top corner of the field to DeSimone who launched the ball in a beautiful downard arc into the net, giving the Bulldogs their second goal.
During the second half of the game, the Bulldogs played mostly in their offensive half and kept the strong Proctor team at bay.
The Bulldogs are 7-6-2 on the season and will travel to Rhode Island on Saturday, Oct. 26, to take on Portsmouth Abbey Ravens. Go Bulldogs!
