The Bow girls’ soccer team may look a little different than the one that reached the Division II semifinals last fall, but the Falcons took a good first step in their quest to return to the playoffs.

Lauren Goyette scored off an assist from Emma Gagne four minutes into the second half and Bow defeated Lebanon, 1-0, on Saturday morning.

“We played very well for our first game with a lot of players contributing to our success,” Coach Jay Vogt said.

While Goyette and Gagne connected to score, Lea Crompton, Taylor Burnham and Kimberly Gosselin protected the defensive end while Lindsay Burnham anchored the midfield.

The Falcons (1-0) will host Goffstown in their home opener on Tuesday at 4 p.m.

Vogt was overall pleased with his team’s opening performance.

“The girls executed on what we have been working on for the last week and took the first step towards developing who they will be as a team this year,” he said.
