FRYEBURG — With blistering speed the Fryeburg Academy girls’ soccer team dismantled Gray-New Gloucester’s offside trap to earn a well-deserved 4-2 Class B South playoff victory in Atwood Stadium on Friday.

For the Raiders, this victory not only marked a decisive return to postseason play for the first time in eight years, but also showcased the culture shift instilled by Coach Dave Hart, now in his fourth season. Hart, with the support of former assistant coaches Jacki Buzzell and Stevi Laird, has built a program that drew a record 56 players this fall, embodying a team-focused spirit.
