BERLIN — The Berlin-Gorham-Kennett girls’ hockey team needed a win and some serious help to book its passage into the 2023 NHIAA playoffs and things fell into place. It all started with a thrilling 2-1 on the road over Lebanon-Stevens-Kearsarge on Saturday.
Junior co-captain Ava Bartoli put the Mountaineers up 1-0 with an unassisted goal in the first period and held that lead going into the second period. The middle frame saw L-S-K net the equalizer halfway through the period.
