Girls Soccer Blanks Hampden in 2-0 Rivalry Win
Brewer, ME · September 28, 2026
Puddles are gathering quickly along the riverbank this morning, and you will want to give the brake pedal extra room on the Route 1A commute today. Grab a rain shell and settle in for a steady week ahead.
The Lead
Brewer girls varsity soccer earned a commanding 2-0 shutout over cross-river rival Hampden Academy on Saturday at Heddericg Field, delivering an emphatic defensive response following earlier close-fought contests. Goalkeeper Lily Clark and the backline turned away repeated Bronco advances, holding firm through physical midfield play and turning quick counter-attacks into decisive scoring opportunities.
The rivalry victory evens out the Witches’ standing in the Penobscot Valley Conference as the squad hits the midpoint of the fall slate. Beyond local bragging rights, the result provides valuable Heal points in the statewide Class A North postseason chase. Brewer returns to the practice pitch this afternoon to refine ball movement before heading back onto the road later in the week.
