Girls Varsity Soccer –

The Girls Varsity Soccer team had a solid week on the field. On Wednesday, the girls traveled to Bancroft, and came away with a solid 2-0 victory. The team controlled play for 80 minutes, even while having 2 goals called back. Sophie Goldstein and Julia Schwartz netted the goals. On Saturday, the team traveled to perennial NEPSAC contender, Wheeler. Justine Hatton began the scoring in the first half with a beautiful volley off a corner to put Beaver up 1-0. While the game went back and forth, Wheeler was able to equalize in the second half, ultimately leading to a 1-1 draw. The girls return to action on Wednesday against ISL opponent St. George’s and then have a rematch with Concord on Friday

Boys Varsity Soccer –

The Boys Varsity Soccer team had a disappointing week, as they drew with Bancroft 2-2 on Wednesday, and lost to Wheeler 2-0 on Saturday. The Bancroft game saw Beaver hit the post or crossbar four times, as the team carried play throughout. A mental lapse in the waning seconds resulted in a Bancroft free kick which tied the game. On Saturday, the boys travelled to Wheeler to take on a highly organized and efficient team. Beaver lacked scoring punch without leading goal scorer, Alex Zecca ’15 and the ever dangerous Adam Kulick ’17. Despite a solid effort, Wheeler’s solid defense earned the result in front of their homecoming crowd. The Beaver Boys will look to rebound this week, as they return to league play against Portsmouth Abbey on Wednesday and Concord Academy on Friday. The Beaver team currently sits atop the league table at 7-0-2.
