Girls soccer

The Barrington High School girls soccer team opened the regular season with a 1-1 tie against North Kingstown on Monday, Sept. 11. The game was played at N.K.

The Skippers opened the scoring with a goal 30 minutes into the first half. Barrington knotted the score two minutes into the second half when the Eagles’ Liv Morrissette found the back of the Skippers’ net. Barrington senior goalie Maddie Gill made a key save late in the game to preserve the 1-1 tie. 

BHS Coach Martyn Hollands said the tie was a solid team effort for the Eagles. 

“Great way for the girls to start their season,” he said.
