The Bridgewater-Raritan High School girls soccer team traveled to Ridge High School's Lee Field Tuesday evening for a game to take on the Ridge players, who had a similar season record. When the fog cleared, Ridge had one the contest 1-0.

IN SHORT

A closely-fought game between two very competitive and even teams came down to a single goal scored by Emily Cutler. When the ball was played about 12 yards from the goal, Bridgewater keeper Casey Murphy came out to clear the ball.  Murphy was met by the Ridge front who got the ball away and Cutler put it into the net. 

DEVIL OF THE GAME

Jenny Haskel — "The freshman played an integral part of the new formation.  When we said we were going to do a 'flat-back four', she did a great job of organizing the back line." — Ridge varsity head coach Katie Donohue.

COACH'S TAKE

"That was the first time coming out with that formation and I thought the girls did a very good job. They stayed organized. Bridgewater is a very tough, competitive team. And I said at halftime that they are not going to stop until the very last second. It is the truth. They kept pressing at the end. I was very pleased with how the girls stay focused." — Katie Donohue

THEY SAID IT

"I had a lot of fun tonight. That was a great game!  I liked the formation.  Go Ridge!" — Jenny Haskle

Up Next — The Devils will be at Franklin 3:45 p.m. Thursday.
