We are live from Exit High School at Udis Field here >> for a big matchup uh oldtime rivals in plenty of sports. Bedford High School versus Exit High School. The Bedford Bulldogs >> come in today with a record of eight wins and one loss so far on the season. and the Exitter Blue Hawks have four wins and six losses. However, if you consider the record so far this year, they played some powerhouse teams. Uh the six losses are to notable teams who have been picked to finish in the top of the state as far as the standings and that's Keen, Dover, Pinkerton, Londereerry, and Winnick Cunn as the
002captains come out to the 50 line to meet the referees and get their instructions along with the coaches. We are about halfway through the New Hampshire High School field hockey season so far. The Bulldogs lost to the Keen Blackbirds, the defending state champs in a 3-2 overtime thriller. The game went into overtime and ended in a stroke shot off a penalty in which McKenna Nelson, senior out at Keen, committed to go play at St. Ansom College, drilled it home and passed a Budford goalender for Keen to go on with the win. That is the only loss on the record for these Bulldogs. On both sides of the field, >> we have exceptional coaching. Starting with the exorter side, coach Deb Gr been here for a number of years, boasts a very impressive record in three
003state championships if I'm not uh mistaken. 2013, 2021, and 2022. In the 2022 season, she led the Blue Hawks to an 18-1 record. assistant coach >> Ellie Scogrren, also a very good coach as well. She was a collegiic player at Holy Cross University and coached for a number of years in the Sea Coast club program. And both these coaches certainly know how to develop players. The exit Blue Hawks boasts several division one field hockey players that have come out of this program over the last couple years. We've had Addison McNeel who's now playing for the University of New Hampshire, Elsa Bishop who's down at Bryant University down in Rhode Island playing for the Bulldogs. and the two Steiner twins, Garen and Izzy Steiner, who both are playing collegiic field hockey. Izzy is at Connecticut College
004and Garren is at St. Lawrence University. >> And when you look at these two teams, they're very evenly matched on both sides of the ball. And we are certainly in for a treat and watching some of the most skilled players here in New Hampshire. We will get started here as the players are taking the field in just a minute. As play gets underway and the Bulldogs put into play. Ball at the 50.

And we'll be right back with the rest of our broadcast. Oh my god. Well, folks, we're going to get back underway here in about 30 seconds. And uh just want to emphasize this is a big rivalry here. The Bedford Bulldogs last year uh going into the playoff round against the Exit Blue Hawks were knocked out of the playoffs um as the Blue Hawks sent them packing and ended their season early last year. Don't think that's forgotten by the Bulldogs. And this exit program is no stranger to success. They've had three state championships, 2013, 2021, 2022, under coach Deb Gr.
020Um, all kinds of accolades, numerous division one field hockey players produced here under Deb Grat and Ellie Scofernin. Certainly a successful program and I fully expect Grot to make the adjustment and keep this game close and competitive as anything can happen here. >> Bedford tries to move it around the 50.

Quick backhand towards the goalie and goalender lays down on top of the ball in a heap of players and they're going to call a corner right now. Technically, if the goalender lays on the ball, that should be
023a stroke, but I think the referee is looking at it as lots of contact and the goalender didn't mean to fall on top of the ball. In fact, the referee's going to bring that back out to the 16 and give that ball to exit >> and Karen a beautiful lift about 30 yards up the field. [Music] Elaine takes it. >> Foul drawn. For those of you at home that aren't familiar with the game of field hockey, there's a lot of things going on for these referees. They have to be cognizant at all times. And a lot of times a judgment call. Um, you know, the ball has to be in the shooter circle in order for it to be a goal. So that's the arc that you see or the arch that you see outside
024uh the goal box. And on top of that, if a player hits it with their foot, that ball is automatically supposed to be dead. and go back the other way unless the referee feels it doesn't impact the play. So, you hear a lot of lot of whistles out here. Several of them are going to be foot calls. Some of them are for hitting the back of a stick as O'Donnell and Karen, two Sea Coast club teammates, go at it one-on-one and just go back and forth at the 25 and 30. Karen wins the day there as the Bulldogs commit a foul and Karen sends it up field. Catches her teammate at about the 45 by Hodge and Rogers stepped up and knocked into number 12 Emma Cummings. And that's going to be a foul and
025they're going to give her a penalty. That'll be a two-minute penalty. Bulldogs will be short-handed. Let's see if the Blue Hawks can capitalize on this penalty. Ball back in play. >> Karen >> looking for room. >> Defenders collapse. She stick handles through three people. Up across a 25. Up across a 20. Cuts it in. And the Bulldogs commit a foul. Third party. That's two players playing the same ball and not squared up to the player as Cummings tries to get around Jirusol.
