Soccer Finds Success at the MPS Showcase

The soccer team traveled to Portland this past weekend to participate in the MPS showcase and found great success in front of multiple college coaches. The teams started off facing The New Hampshire Classics and won 4-0. After a short break, they took the field against Mass Premier Soccer and took away a 4-1 win. The last contest of the day saw great competition as the two undefeated teams took the field. Back and forth play created many scoring opportunities for both Bridgton and Maine Premier Soccer. At the end of the game, the two teams tied 1-1.

School Is Back In Session!

Following a relaxing winter break, the students are back on campus and school is in full swing. The soccer team is hitting the books and the gym to prepare for the second semester. And of course, Mother Nature welcomed everyone back with a nice snow storm, which will make for some great after school skiing!

Eddie Demoya Named Co-Athlete of the Month!

Congratulations to Eddie Demoya (Salem, MA) who was named Co-Athlete of the Month for October! Demoya helped the team to finish with a 4-1 record down the stretch.

BA Blanks Winchendon

The soccer team had a long two week break to prepare for their home match up against The Winchendon School. The team’s hard work paid off as they shut out the Wapities 3-0 in what Coach Ashenfelter remarked was “One of our best performances to date.” To start off the game, Peter Ventola (Salem, NH) finished a feed from Eddie Demoya assisted (Salem, MA). Demoya then secured a 2-0 lead as he netted an unassisted goal with just over three minutes to go in the first half. The match up was a physical game and Winchendon was fighting for a comeback which led to some chippy plays on both sides of the field. Aidan Harrison (Medfield, MA) put away the insurance goal with 20 minutes left in the game for the 3-0 win.

Coach Ashenfelter was satisfied with the performance commenting afterwards “We played 90 minutes of soccer and did the things we practiced. We had a few cheap shots, but hopefully we will learn from this and let the scoreboard do the talking. We need to finish the game like professionals. We took another step forward this week, and we will use the experience for improvement.”

Up Next...

The Wolverines have had a long break, but they are ready to get back on the field! Make sure to stop by campus this weekend as they host the Winchendon School on Saturday the 22nd at 1:00 P.M.!!

Soccer Holds Off Kents Hill

Kents Hill put on past BA's goaltender, but Edwin Demoya (Salem, MA) netted two more for Bridgton to secure the 4-1 win.
