Boys Varsity Soccer –
The Boys Varsity Soccer team played two league games this past week, and came away with a win and a draw. On Wednesday, the boys traveled to Portsmouth Abbey and scored early and often in a torrential downpour. The weather conditions favored attacking players, as the score finished 6-3. On Friday, the team settled for a frustrating draw vs. Concord Academy on the road. Beaver outshot their opponents 18 – 4, but the Concord keeper and gritty defending by Concord’s boys thwarted Beaver’s attempts. This week, the team will travel to Bancroft on Wednesday, host Berwick on Friday, and then travel to Class A powerhouse, Exeter, on Saturday. The boys now stand at 8-0-3 in league play and 9-4-3 overall.
