The Bulldogs traveled to Concord Academy on Wed., Nov. 6, to finish their season, bringing home a 1-0 loss, but holding their heads high because they competed as a unified team for 80 minutes, and they played hard all season.
The Bulldogs played the first quarter of the game at Concord primarily in their offensive half. Ten minutes into the game, Senior and co-Captian Eliza Small '25 (Portsmouth, NH) saved a potential shot from a Concord offensive player when the Berwick goalie and others had come out of the goal area; Small was there to save the shot. The other Senior co-Captain Juliette Lohnes '25 (Berwick, ME) also gave an impressive performance on defense, winning battle after battle against the Concord offensive line.
Seniors Willow Turkel (Rye, NH) and Neomi Groth (Portsmouth, NH) worked hard during their time on the field, making the most of their final game of their high school careers.
The second half of the game consisted of some great saves by goalkeeper Julia Brennan '28 (Exeter, NH). With 15 minutes on the clock, offensive Bulldog Sophia DeSimone '28 (Dover, NH) took a good strong shot and it went just wide.
One of Brennan's great saves came 13 minutes before the whistle when she ran out and confidently caught a shot in the air.
As the sun was setting, with 8 minutes on the clock, the Concord team got lucky with a penalty kick on which they were able to capitalize, scoring the game-winning goal.
Two minutes later, Small had an opportunity when she gave the ball a long, hard drive toward the goal from the midfield, but it went just over the net.
It was a bittersweet ending to the soccer season, but The Bulldogs have worked hard since the end of August, and they finished 7-8-4 on the season.
