The MV United U-14 girls’ team completed their undefeated season last weekend, finishing with a near-perfect 8-0-1 record. The team tied 1-1 with Dartmouth in their final game last Saturday.

Fifteen minutes into the game, Adelaide Keene scored for the U-14s. Dartmouth landed a goal of its own a minute later on a corner kick. MV United played a strong second half, creating pressure and scoring opportunities throughout, but Dartmouth’s goalie was up to the task.

The girls play in Mass Premier Soccer’s annual Soccerween tournament this weekend in Lancaster.
