BNL Girls Modified Volleyball vs Tamarac 10/18
Girls modified volleyball came out last night to prove a point. Sometimes you lose and sometimes you crush it! The B team started their match with a loss getting stuck by a great server. Didn’t matter. They came back to win the next 2 sets with consistent receiving, serving and great teamwork. Jade Baldwin was the player of the game. The A team started with a loss too. They came back with better communication and a more focused effort to win their next 2 sets. Mackenzie Walko was the player of the game. The girls will play a combined match against Waterford on Wednesday. Your last chance to see them play will be on Monday against Cambridge.
BNL Girls Varsity Soccer vs Cambridge 10/15
The BNL girls varsity soccer team ended its season strong on Saturday 10/16, with a 2-0 win over Cambridge to celebrate their senior game. In an impressive performance, BNL locked down the opposing Cambridge offense in the first half, and worked hard to disrupt their opponent’s possession of the ball. The second half, BNL really gained momentum, and began to apply pressure to the Cambridge goal. Jessica Bosso took the lead for BNL scoring her second goal of the year after making a smart diagonal through run to get in 1 v 1 with the keeper. Riley Robertson scored her first varsity career goal in similar fashion to make the score 2-0. Despite Cambridge being awarded a penalty in the box, keeper Becca Madsen stepped up big to save the spot kick and keep the clean sheet for BNL.Coach Kanofsky and Day want everyone to know how proud they are of this group, and how excited they are for the future of the program! Congratulations to Berlin Senior Sophie Ericson!
