Gorham controlled the game 45 out of the 50 minutes. Everyone kept the pressure on to lead the team to a 3-0 shut out against Bonny Eagle. The defense held their line so strong that the goalies both halves didn’t touch the ball once!

The beginning of the game started out like a kickball game, but by the second half of the first half the girls were playing like a team, communicating and playing to feet. Every girl on the team contributed to the win yesterday by playing with heart, desire and the dedication they have put in all season long!
