Adia Maund ’17 played well in the net earning a clean sheet. Then, on Halloween, the girls traveled to Berwick. After taking a 1-0 lead early in the second half, they were unable to sustain Berwick’s attack, and ended up losing 3-1. The girls play their final game of the season this week against 2nd place LCA.
Boys Varsity Soccer –
The Boys Varsity Soccer team had a busy week with three matches in four days. The week started with an away match at Bancroft. Looking to avenge a hard luck draw earlier in the season, the boys carried play and came away with a solid 4-0 win. On Friday, the boys hosted Berwick. The team played some of its best attacking football of the season, as five different players scored in a 5-1 win. Saturday brought cold weather and rain, as the team travelled to Exeter for a battle against one of the top Class A teams in New England. After a 90 minute 0-0 deadlock, an Exeter player poked home a desperation scramble with 1 second remaining. Despite the heart-wrenching loss, the Beaver team played very well, and can look back on the game feeling good about their performance. This week the team will travel to LCA with hopes of completing an undefeated EIL season. The boys now stand at 10-0-3 in league play and 11-5-3 overall.
