In a battle of the Merrimack Valley Conference large school and small school girls soccer champions, Central Catholic and Haverhill battled to a 1-1 tie. But Haverhill coach Fred Tarbox was far from disappointed.

Molly Fitzgerald fired a shot to the top corner and beat the Dracut goalie with 16 minutes remaining, giving Haverhill a 1-1 tie and clinching the Merrimack Valley Small Conference title.

Haverhill goalie Meghan Gulbrandsen needed 10 saves to tally her eighth shutout season, as the Hillies bested Pentucket 3-0.  Casey Anderson continued her stellar season, scoring all three goals. 

Methuen tripped MVC Small-leading Haverhill, 3-2, to stretch its winning streak to five games. Karen Lima scored twice and Alex Levesque scored a goal for the seventh straight game. Earlier in the week the Rangers dumped a tough Dracut squad.

Meghan Gulbrandsen needed seven saves to post her seventh shutout as the MVC-leading Haverhill girls soccer team dropped Tewksbury, 2-0.

Backboned by sophomore Meghan Gulbrandsen's fifth shutout of the season, Haverhill moved into first place in the Merrimack Valley Conference Small with a 2-0 victory over Billerica.

Haverhill glided to an easy 6-1 victory over Notre Dame of Tyngsboro. Sophomore outside midfielder Kaleigh Fitzgerald did a great job distributing the ball to keep the Hillies offense going strong. Casey Anderson and Molly Fitzgerald each had a pair of goals and goalie Meghan Gulbrandsen (three saves) even contribued an assist with a fine field-length pass.

Meghan Gulbrandsen posted her fourth shutout in the last six games and Casey Anderson had the hat trick as Haverhill rolled past Methuen, 4-0.

Haverhill couldn't overcome Billerica but, thanks to sophomore goalie Meghan Gulbrandsen, the reverse was true as well.

Gulbrandsen stopped 12 shots and notched her third shutout of the year as the Hillies (2-1-1) tied Billerica 0-0. She has given up only one goal all year. "She saved us today," said coach Fred Tarbox.

Sophomore Meghan Gulbrandsen turned away 18 Dracut shots for her first shutout of the year in Haverhill's 2-0 win over Dracut. Elyssa Penney broke the scoreless tie midway through the second half on a sweet cross from Casey Anderson.
