Best of the Bess
Eventually, one of the shots Wiscasset High School girls varsity soccer team took against Madison's goalie Whitney Bess was bound to go in.
Unfortunately for the Wolverines, time ran out.
Playing Monday, Sept. 22, at home against Madison High School (6-0), a short-handed Wiscasset (3-3) team was unable to capitalize on multiple shots and fell, 2-0.
Just five minutes into the contest, Madison’s Kayla Bess made it look like clockwork when the junior scored on an assist from Jillian Holden. Bess, who took 11 shots on the day, would scored with 14:25 remaining in the first half when she had a breakaway.
Wiscasset senior goalkeeper Kayla Gordon recorded 15 saves on 17 shots, and fellow senior Miranda McIntire harassed Whitney Bess all game long, including seven shots on goal.
Wiscasset Freshman “Mini” Maeve Blodgett again played tough for the Wolverines, as she was often tasked with pairing up one-on-one with Madison's top strikers.
