The Alvirne High School Girls’ Soccer team has still yet to see a win this season, but did manage to hold off Merrimack to a two-goal tie.
The Lady Broncos passed through the halfway point of the fall sports season last week with a trip over the river, to Merrimack High School, and a home contest with the very tough Exeter Blue Hawks.
Neither of the games resulted in the much-needed first victory of the season, but the trip to Merrimack resulted in a 2-2 finish.
The Tomahawks hosted the Alvirne squad on Tuesday, Sept. 30, where they played to a 2-2 tie.
Broncos goals were delivered by midfielders Angie Rivera and Megan Murphy. Alvirne goaltender Abbie Kowalski kept her team in the game, knocking back 17 of the Tomahawks 19 shots on net.
The tie put Merrimack at 2-5-1 and the Broncos moved to 0-6-2.
Three days later, at home against the 9-1 Exeter Blue Hawks, the AHS girls looked competitive, but couldn’t quite battle back, falling 1-3 in the ninth game of the season.
The Blue Hawks came into Hudson riding a nine-game winning streak with their only loss coming in the first game of the season a one-goal defeat to Bishop Guertin.
Kowalski had an astounding 22 saves in the tough loss with the single Alvirne goal delivered by forward Reese Wanamaker.
The Lady Broncos were set to begin this week hosting the 8-1 Nashua North Titans on Tuesday Oct. 7 followed by a trip to Manchester on Friday, Oct. 10, where they will face the 2-7-1 Manchester Central-West squad.
