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. Demoya tallied a goal in each of the final five games, 9 goals 7 assists in all. He finished the season with a total of 17 goals and 12 assists. Coach Ashenfelter nominated Demoya stating, "his unquestioned work rate is evident on the field and in his training sessions."
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.”

The soccer team battled through rain and mud as they took on Bowdoin College’s J.V. team. The two teams faced each other earlier in the week and settled with a 2-2 tie. This time, Bridgton was determined to take away the win. Bowdoin came out strong scoring first eighteen minutes into the game. Luca Viscomi (Newton, MA) finished a pass from Eddie Demoya (Salem, MA) late in the first half to tie things up. Just ten minutes later Will McGowan (Andover, MA) and Will Groves (Walpole, MA) connected as McGowan put away the go ahead goal. After a sloppy play by BA, Bowdoin was awarded a penalty kick, which tied up the game. Not wanting to give up, Demoya scored the game winning goal off a feed from Aidan Harrison (Medfield, MA) to secure the 3-2 win.
Coach Ashenflter was very proud of his team saying “we battled through adversity over and over again, showing great resilience and strong will to win.”

Finally, Parents' Weekend has arrived! The guys have been busy in the classroom and on the field, and it's time they show off their hard work! There is a lot going on this weekend, and it will be great fun!
Here is a link to a full schedule of events!
The soccer team has a big game this weekend as they take on Bowdoin College J.V. at 3:00 P.M. on Saturday in front of family and friends. We hope to see you all there!!
The soccer team took to the field against Bowdoin College’s J.V. team this past weekend and held the Polar Bears to a 2-2 game. Peter Ventola (Salem, NH) played a strong game for the Wolverine’s as he scored twice to keep Bridgton in the lead for most of the game. With only 90 seconds left in regulation play, Bowdoin was able to sneak in the tying goal. Bridgton had many opportunities to extend their lead, but as Coach Ashenfelter commented afterwards, “we could not quite capitalize on the goal scoring opportunities we did well to create.”
Up next, the soccer team will play at home against Bowdoin College for Parents Weekend. The game is scheduled for Saturday the 1st at 3:00 P.M. We hope to see everyone there!
