Thank you to all players, parents, and families for a wonderful soccer season!

We appreciate everyone's support and thank all for attending the Banquet last night.

Keep on Climbing

This week we are going to recognize two more Fall Athletes as Athletes of the week for the previous weeks play.

Our female athlete of the week is Sarah Doherty, a member of the Varsity Soccer team. She has been a great addition to the team this year, in only her first year at Brady. According to her coach, Sarah has been a steady rock in the back line at center D all year. She has played consistently high minutes, and has been stellar against some of the best offensive threats in the league, especially standout last week in her game against Hillsboro Deering, continually pressuring and stopping their leading scorer. For her overall play and growth this season, Sarah  is recognized as our female athlete of the week for last week’s play.

If you ordered a blanket or multiple blankets this season, please have your daughter stop by Coach Annie's office tomorrow or Thursday to pick them up at school!

Thank you for all of your support!

Varsity Girls soccer played their last regular season game of the season to a hard fought tie at Monadnock under the lights Wednesday night. Game was aggressive as both teams are fighting for post season playoff births. Brady got on the board with an Abby Santis header from an Olivia Crainich corner kick. Brady showed great determination and grit all game long, creating lots of opportunities and defensively maintaining some of Monadnock's top scorers. Mackenzie Wetherill had another strong game in net. Brady awaits the news of their potential playoff bid and are hopeful and excited to continue their season!

Our end of season Banquet will be held Sunday November 13th at Brady in the Caf from 4:30pm-6:30pm. More information to follow ASAP.

Varsity Girls Soccer played under the lights for their Senior Night contest at Saint Anselm College Saturday night. Brady played with lots of emotion and passion, as we celebrated our two varsity seniors and captains Emily Santis and Alex Sacco. Brady came out early and Sophomore Abby Santis scored a pretty break away goal to get Brady on the board. Inter Lakes came back to score to tie the game at 1-1 which is how it stood for the rest of the regular time. OT was played at a pretty even deadlock, both teams playing well and passing strong, and defensively playing with lots of fight. Brady fell short in the end. Makenzie Wetherill played well in the net. Brady looks to bounce back as they travel to Monadnock for their final regular season game on Wednesday.

Brady Varsity played another strong OT game, playing with a no quit, give it your all mental the entire game. Brady got a result with the tie, which is always Coach Andrew's goal each game. Energy was high and efforts were strong. Passing was great in the first half, and defense shined in the second and OT helping to maintain the tie. Maddie Boyer with the goal for Brady and Mackenzie Wetherill played well in the net once again.

Game tomorrow @ NHTI vs. Conant

Reminder for all Brady Girls Soccer that our Blanket Fundraiser is due this Friday! We have asked the girls to sell some Brady Giants blankets. They cost $20 each. We encouraged them to ask friends, community, family, etc. who would be interested in supporting Girls Soccer. Ideal situation is for each girl to sell 5 for this Friday, the girls were given the paperwork and information last Thursday. Please encourage them to ask teachers, doctors, and any all people in their lives who affect them as we appreciate the support to the Soccer Program and all of the girls' hard work.

Brady Varsity Girls Soccer struggles against a talented #1 seed Fall Mountain and falls in the end 8-0. Coach Andrew said, "Fall Mountain is a very good soccer team. They have a lot of good players. I was very proud of the way our girls played and the effort they showed throughout the game. We have 3 very winnable games at the end of the season and the girls have worked hard all year to put us in a great position." Brady is roaring and ready to bounce back in the first of the three games Thursday at home vs. Derryfield School.

All Girls Soccer Players...please bring both your Green and White Uniforms to practice on Wednesday. We will be playing in a Green vs. White scrimmage during practice and will be randomly selecting teams to play a game against each other to prep for Saturdays games home vs. Monadnock

Brady carried its hot streak into a big game versus White Mountains Regional and came out with the victory 2-1. Maddie Boyer and Olivia Crainich both stood out immensely in the game and both scored. After a long journey north, Brady played with a lot of poise confidence. Brady is excited to continue their end of season games on Tuesday back home where they looked to continue to battle and work for the playoff spot.

Our Game times on October 19th for our game @ Monadnock will now be:

JV 4pm

Brady Girls Varsity Soccer pulls out a tough grind it out game versus a scrappy and aggressive Berlin team 1-0. Mackenzie Wetherill gets the shut out in net. Jane Bradley scored the winning goal and has a strong overall game with many shots at net. Brady is excited to have a quick turnaround and continue their end of the season playoff journey.

Hi All

With that being said, we are in need of some help with food pick up from Cimos and drop off to school. Can anyone help us on Monday for our Inter Lakes game, Tuesday for our Derryfield game, and/or Friday for our Newport game? We are away for all three so will need the food picked up from Cimos and dropped off to the school/bus.

Thanks so much in advance for any and all help!

This week we are going to recognize more Fall Athletes as Athletes of the week for the previous weeks play, two from the Bass Fishing team and one from the Girls Varsity Soccer Team.

Our female athlete of the week is Maddie Boyer, a junior mid field on the varsity girls soccer team. She is an energizer bunny on the outside and shined this past week in both games, most recently scoring 2 girls and dishing out 2 assists in a significant 4-0 win on Saturday during Homecoming. Maddie has shown great grit, focus, and soccer passion this year according to her coach, and because of such she is recognized as our female athlete of the week for last week’s play.

Congrats Maddie!

Each week the Athletic Department will receive nominations from coaches for a new weekly recognition we will call “Athlete of the Week”. One Female and one Male athlete will be chosen from the nominees. This award will recognize a male and female’s weekly accomplishment in their sport and many of the intangible qualities that set them apart from others.

The female Athlete of the Week for the week of 9/5-9/11 is Mackenzie Wetherill, a soccer player with a strong maturity, grace, and commitment to her team day in and day out. She has too been stellar in net so far this season, accumulating double digit saves in both of our games, making some incredible movements and showing great athleticism in the goal, most recently with her 18 saves in the last game. Her coaches speak of her ability to communicate, her efforts to support her teammates, and her focus on both her own goals and her team’s. Her efforts and energy are both much appreciated.

Brady Varsity Girls Soccer came back strong in today's game after a slow first 7 minutes of play to tie the game 2-2 at half, but Conant scored a big second half goal to win the game. Girls worked hard defensively after Conant came swarming early to take a 2-0 lead, with Sam Will and Abby Santis leading the way. Maddie Boyer scored two goals, both in the first half, one off of Olivia Crainich and one from Gwen Tupman. Coach Mattarazzo said, "We came out very flat to start the game but showed good grit and determination to fight back and give ourselves a chance to win the game. We had some strong looks at net in the second half but couldn't capitalize. We now have to work to have short memories and regroup for Wednesday in another home game vs. Berlin." Brady is excited to get back on the field Wednesday and then again Friday. 

PLEASE REMEMBER...you will need to confirm by Monday at practice if you plan on attending the SNHU Women's soccer game with our program this Wednesday at 7pm in Manchester on the SNHU turf. We will be departing after practice and will provide food. We need to get a total number in order to coordinate transportation and carpools.

Brady Girls Varsity Soccer gets the final touches on their shots to score 4 goals and beat Monadnock 4-0. Brady came out with fire and high energy Saturday at NHTI for their Homecoming game. Girls played hard and really well together moving the ball and communicating up the field. They connected on some great passes and shots. Junior Maddie Boyer scored two goals and assisted on the other two goals, sophomore Abby Santis scored one goal, and Junior Gwen Tupman scored one goal. Coach Mattarazzo said "the girls played very well from start to finish. It was nice to have a full and healthy team and play together. It is nice to have options and bring players in off the bench to make a difference. It was a full team effort today and we played well all around". Junior Mackenzie Wetherill got the shut out in net. The girls look forward to the quick turnaround and second game against Conant at home on Monday, and take on the next half of the season with a plethora of home games.

For any parent or relative who may be available Tuesday afternoon, the Girl's soccer program is looking for help with their away game arrangements for picking up and delivering food to the school for the bus trip. If anyone could assist with this on this Tuesday 9/12 please email Coach Annie at aalosa@bishopbrady.edu.

Thanks in Advance!

Two strong shots on net by Somersworth were the result of Brady Girls Varsity Soccer falling short 2-1 to Somersworth in their first home game of the season. Defensively Brady girls held them off consistently throughout the game. Brady fought hard in an even matchup, controlling the ball and getting some wonderful opportunitie at net. Dana Fahey, Gwen Tupman, and Maddie Boyer all attacked the net and shot consistently. From the defensive side, Alex Sacco and Emily Santis showed great leadership and strategies (both our senior captains) to maintain possessions and communicate consistently. Our lone goal was scored by Maddie Boyer on a beautiful shot. The girls fought through the final buzzer, with some high percentage shots coming in the final ten minutes of play. Brady looks to bounce back with a rematch at Somerworth next Tuesday. The turnaround is quick and the girls are excited!

Brief Boosters Meeting 5pm in Library on Thursday 9/1

Girls Varsity Soccer played their best game of the season to date! Very strong games from our two center mid-fielders, Olivia Crainich and Misty Zaczyk, contributed to well rounded and precise passing and communication. Our lone goal was scored off of a Crainich free kick. Defensively Jane Bradley and Emma Bradley both contributed immensely with their versatility, and Abby and Emily Santis were solid in center back positions. Overall, Brady presented as a strong team and maintained the score with poise and hustle. Brady could not hold back Newports star player in the end and fell short against Newport, but looks to bounce back immediately tomorrow with their first home game of the season against Somersworth.

Impact Testing Thursday 9/1 at 3:15pm and practice to be held in small groups during that time directly at Brady

Varsity Girls Soccer lost a tough fought game away against Derryfield 1-0 Tuesday. In an evenly matched game, both teams played well and with high energy. Brady showed great determination, competing defensively with strong poise and maturity. Mackenzie Wetherill was the backbone of the defense again making a few impressive saves in net especially in the second half. Emily Santis was a standout on defense today. Ashley Gearing, Emlee Sanuth, and Gwen Tupman showed great focus and drive in the open field and stood out on the offensive side and when attacking the ball. Brady overall had some strong opportunities to capitalize and tie the game but couldn't connect. The beauty of the week is that the girls have two more games to play. Next game takes the team to Newport High School on Friday. The girls are excited for another game to connect on some big goals and continue to get better!

In another OT game in just our third game of the season, Girl's Varsity soccer played the strongest second half of the season on Tuesday! Impressive play from Maddie Boyer, Olivia Crainich, and Abby Santis catalyst a huge surge. First half had some great key moments, although a few momentum shifts. A few highlights include a Crainich goal and some stellar defense from the back line (Sam Will, A Santis, Emily Santis and Sarah Doherty), clearing the ball and supporting Mackenzie Wetherill in net well. Energy was high, although being down 2-1 at half, and in the second half the team came out flying, scoring the game tying goal on a Crainich to A. Santis corner kick. In overtime, it was a huge team effort and everyone stepped up to compete, although falling short in the end 2-3 to Stevens. Coach Andrew said, "We started the game out well but had too many spurts where the momentum shifted back and forth throughout the first half. Once the second half rolled around the girls came out and played very well, connecting on strong passes and playing great defensively. We got the equalizer back late and gave up a tough goal in overtime. All in all, very proud of the way we fought back in the second half of the game." In the end, the Girl's are eager to finish the week of practice and take on a four game week next week!

Girls Varsity soccer competed in their second game of the season traveling to Conant high school for a Friday game. Girls played the first half hard, slowly getting rolling as the game got going. A couple great shots by Misty and Dana. Some strong defensive play by Sarah, Emily, Sam, and Abby Santis. Second half came and the Green Giants brought a new surge of high energy and fight scoring early and making it a 2-1 until the very end. Overall Mackenzie Wetherill played great with 18 saves, Misty scored a great goal, and other players like Abby Scharpf, Gwen Tupman, and Emma Bradley played higher minutes and new positions to help as we were down a few players for the game. Coach Andrew said, "We came out a little slow in the first half but really came to play in the second half. The girls played very well today and they have nothing to hang their heads about. It was only our second game of the year due to scheduling issues but I am extremely proud of the girls thus far and excited for the rest of the season."

After a postponement to the seasoner opener, Girls Soccer wins a thrilling 2-1 double overtime game versus White Mountains School. Mutiple shots and corner attempts and two strong goals by Maddie Boyer in the opening eight minutes and Dana Fahey twenty six seconds into the second overtime.
