Congrats to both the girls and boys soccer teams for great wins over Searsport Wednesday! The girls team won 7-0, and the boys won 9-3. Solid defense, great passing and nonstop shots on goal were the keys to GSB's success. A special shout out to Eliza Shumacher, Marley Gregory, Miles Bowdoin, Jamison Bagley, and Parker Snyder on scoring their first goals of the season!

Next up, both teams head to Richmond, on Friday, 9/26.

Tough day on the pitch against a strong Camden team, but we're so proud of the grit and effort from our GSB Soccer teams!

Our girls battled hard for all 80 minutes, showing incredible determination against a tough opponent. The final score was 8-0, but their heart was on full display.

Our boys fought in a nail-biter that truly could've gone either way. They came up just short with a final score of 4-3, but it was a great, hard-fought match.

Let's show up and support them at their next home games!

The GSB boys soccer team played a great game in Woolwich yesterday. The game went into extra-time. The final score was 2-2. GSB went behind a goal then scored the equalizer to bring the game 1-1 at the end of regulation. In overtime, GSB scored in the second half early on. Woolwich scored on the very last play of the game to make it 2-2. It was a very evenly contested game with a number of standout performances.

The GSB boys next soccer game is at GSB on Wednesday, 9/17, at 5 pm vs Camden.

Congrats to the girls soccer team who won yesterday over Woolwich 5-1. It was a great team effort with solid defense, great passes and good shots on goal. Congrats to Lina Minzner who had 4 goals in the game!
