Event Recap: On a gloomy and chilly Wednesday afternoon, the Bears faced the Bearcats of Hotchkiss on the turf. The Hotchkiss team was very strong and quick, and were able to capitalize on their opportunities well. After several Bearcat goals in the first half, Berkshire was able to get on the scoreboard with 8 minutes left, with an excellent heads up play by defensive-midfielder Lucy Hollister '15. Hollister fought for and won a ground ball and made an excellent pass down the field to Lexi Merison '15, who sniped a bounce shot into the goal. It was a great display of teamwork. Merison had a second goal at the end of the game, with less than two minutes remaining on the clock.
The second half brought more opportunities for both teams. The team totaled more than 20 shots, and Hotchkiss's goalie was on fire! It was a very solid effort by the Bears. Playing outstanding defense throughout the game were Olivia Mason '13 and Emily Hubbard '14. Hubbard won seemingly every battle for the Hotchkiss shots that ended up out of bounds. Also showing confidence out there was Lali Abellan '14, who made her lacrosse debut today! While the final score was 13-3 for Hotchkiss, the Bears toughed it out and battled until the very last whistle. |
