Game Highlights:
The Girls Varsity Soccer team extended its winning streak to 3 games, during Homecoming, with a nail biting 2-1 victory over Concord Academy. This was the second meeting between the two schools this season, and both ended with the same score line. In the first half, it appeared as if the team would roll over Concord with Carly Furr netting Beaver's first goal within the opening 2 minutes of play. The team was not able to extend their lead even though it played most of the half in Concord's side of the field. Concord's goalkeeper was rock solid and thwarted many of the team's scoring attempts. With the scored tied and with less than 10 minutes to play, the team mustered all its strength to push on the attack. Eventually the soccer gods smiled upon the team and Brielle Butler, assisted by Maddie Brucker, was able to turn a broken play into a beautifully placed corner shot to give Beaver the lead. The defensive line of Chloe Kunstler, Becca Levkowicz and Lexi Knopf had a solid game and midfielders Tess Anderson, Brielle Butler and Phoebe Allen were relentless in their pursuit of the ball. BCDS is currently 6th in the standings and .500 on the season with a tough 5 game stretch coming up.
The Varsity Field Hockey game against EIL opponent Concord Academy was tough as the first half resulted in a 0-0 game. BCDS, led by midfielder Katie Hayward, kept the pressure on in the second half notching eight shots on goal to CA's two. The game went in to seven vs. seven overtime and it was in the final two minutes that Sarah Jane Devins got an unassisted break away goal resulting in a 1-0 win by Beaver!
The Beaver Boys scored a quality goal from Oliver Hunt in the 24th minute and then shut the door on Concord Academy on Saturday. On a blustery cool day, Beaver did not play with the same creativity and quality as we have grown accustomed to in recent weeks, but the side showed that it can shut teams down when needed. Hunt's goal came on a lovely ball over the top of the CA defense from Silmar Bueno. Hunt finished over the keeper and just under the bar as the Homecoming crowd erupted. The lone tally was all BCDS would need as Zeke Satloff at Center Back and David Price in net guided the defense to another clean sheet. The second consecutive shutout leaves Beaver opponents scoreless for over 176 consecutive minutes. The win leaves Beaver at 5-3-1 overall and 4-3-1 in league play. At the midway point of the season, the young BCDS side is feeling confident having outscored their opponents by a combined 30-13. Beaver will start the second half of the campaign against Bancroft on Wednesday, October 20th.
