Last year the Newburyport girls soccer team, which won its first Division 3 State Championship, was almost unstoppable compiling a 20-1-2 record with fourteen shutouts. This year the Newburyport Clippers, currently 4-0, are again a dominant force in the Cape Ann League and heavily favored to win the Cape Ann League championship.
Matt Porter’s article focuses on the three talented seniors that are the backbone of this year’s team (Jillian Kinter, Laura Muise and Taylor Bresnahan) and Newburyport Coach Robb Gonnam.

First Annual Newburyport Youth Soccer Association Spring Jamboree
June 11, 2008
Where: War Memorial Stadium at Newburyport High School
The Newburyport Youth Soccer Association (NYSA) will hold its first annual Spring Jamboree on Saturday, June 14th from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the War Memorial Stadium located behind Newburyport High School. The NYSA anticipates that 500 families will attend the youth soccer matches on Saturday.
The NYSA is hosting its jamboree in conjunction with RESTORE, the non-profit organization that is raising money to renovate World War Memorial Stadium. The NYSA is suggesting that each family contribute a $10 donation at the event to RESTORE in order to help fund their efforts. Volunteers will be collecting donations at both entrances to the stadium.
World War Memorial Stadium, located behind Newburyport High School in Newburyport, Massachusetts, was built nearly 70 years ago as part of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) that was established by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The WPA was a landmark labor initiative that put more than 3.5 million men and young boys to work on war-time projects across the country to help them support their families.
The construction of the World War Memorial Stadium and the wall that still surrounds the high school are two of the more visible WPA projects in the Greater Newburyport area.
A recent site assessment of the facility estimated the cost of renovation and upgrades to be approximately $1.5 million. This includes extensive renovations to the visitor stands, including meeting handicapped accessibility requirements, and installing a new turf playing surface which will greatly expand the life and use of the facility.
If you want to help RESTORE with its fundraising efforts, stop by the World War Memorial Stadium at Newburyport High School on Saturday and watch some exciting Newburyport Youth Soccer.
The Snack Shack at the stadium will be open all day and local merchants and non-profit organizations will also be in attendance at the NYSA Spring Jamboree.

The Newburyport High School girls soccer team won the Mass. Division 3 State Championship on saturday with their 3-2 victory against Bromfield High School at Cawley Stadium in Lowell. The team went out a winner with a come from behind victory on the winning goal by Taylor Bresnahan with only 39 seconds left in regulation time.

Newburyport Girls Soccer Team Division 3 Mass State Champions
November 17, 2007
Congratulations to the Newburyport High School Girls Soccer team, the 2007 Massachusetts Division 3 State Champions!
In today’s championship game played at Cawley Stadium in Lowell, the Newburyport Clippers dominated much of the play on the field against the Bromfield Trojans of Harvard, MA, but could not break the game open due to the outstanding play of the Bromfield goalie. The Clippers won the game 3-2.
The Bromfield goalie was impressive in her play and did her part to keep her team in the game. Newburyport scored first about about 30 minutes into the game and Bromfield tied the score with less than two minutes to go in the first half.
In the second half, the Bromfield goalie continued her fine performance against the Clippers. She was aggressive around the net and snuffed out many potential Newburyport scoring opportunities. The Bromfield Trojans played with lot of energy early in the second half and were riding the momentum from their last minute score in the first half.
Bromfield, hanging tough with Newburyport for most of the second half, took the lead, 2-1, with about 10 minutes left in the game. The Bromfield team made good on the few quality shots that they had against the Clippers. Unfortunately they didn’t have enough shots as much of the play was occurring in Bromfield’s defensive zone.
After a time out, Newburyport Clippers put together an impressive drive and put a lot of pressure on Bromfield. Laura Muise tied the score at 2-2 with a beautiful,laser shot of a kick from the sideline area of the field that went into the net in the top left-hand corner of the net. I’d describe it as a “top shelf” goal!
Newburyport was energized after the goal and applied constant pressure on the field. The Clippers scored again about a minute later, but the goal was disallowed because a Newburyport player had stepped out of bounds when putting the ball back into play. The Clippers were unfazed over the call and played with the same intensity that they have carried with them throughout this season. The winning goal was scored by Taylor Bresnahan with less than two minutes left in the game.
The Newburyport Clippers were impressive in the last 20 minutes of the game as they really turned it on and showed how hard they play. It was a well played and exciting game to watch from the stands. What a way to end the season!
