GVS jumps into 2024 season with annual Prep Playday
After a week long preseason, GVS2024 was eager to take to the field on a beautiful Sunday at host Rivers School.
The first 40-minute half matched the Big Blue against Class B opponent, Pomfret School. Andover found its way to the scoreboard early on a scrappy rebound finish from captain Hayden Fischer '25 with an assist from sophomore Keaghan Murhpy. Fischer set-up midfielder Lauren Herlihy '25 for the second score to stretch the lead.
Sophomore goalkeeper Jackie Dill earned the shutout in net versus Pomfret.
After the first 40 versus Pomfret School , Andover had its first ever meet-up with ISL opponent, St. George's School. St. George's is coached by former GVS superstar/captain Meg Coffin '03. Andover struck early once again this time with Keaghan Murphy finding captain Emily Mara '25 for the score. St. George's tied it up midway through the half ending the match at 1-1. Shout out to sophomore goalkeeper Deli Russell earned her first start for GVS.
Keaghan Murphy showed tremendous composure on all thirds of the field and earned Player of the Day honors.
Thanks to our parents, grandparents and younger siblings who came out in support. Thank you to the Oswanski Family for post-game snacks and cold drinks!
The Big Blue looks forward to gearing up to hit the road to Groton School on Wednesday for its season opener.
