The Mt. Abram Roadrunners remained unbeaten by defeating host Wiscasset/Boothbay in a rain-soaked soccer game Tuesday afternoon. The game originally scheduled for a 6 p.m. starting time was moved back to 3:30 in hopes of avoiding the worst of the predicted bad weather. As it was, it rained off and on most of the afternoon.

The loss dropped the Wolverines to 3-6 while the Roadrunners improved to 8-0.

The Wolverines were coming off an emotional win over visiting Lisbon the night before. Tuesday’s game was their third in four days. They shave two more games this week hosting Winthrop Thursday night and Carrabec for the homecoming game on Saturday.

The Roadrunners dominated possession of the ball over the first 40-minutes of play. After the Wolverines dodged two near misses, Tyson Hill scored at 28:30 following a wild scramble in front of the net.

Two minutes later, Wiscasset was whistled for charging, setting up a direct kick from just outside the penalty area. Cam Walters fired and in the scrum that followed, the ball deflected off a Wolverine player and ricocheted into the net.

Unassisted goals by Nate Luce at 17:07 and Even Allen, 15:04, made it 4-nil. Hill’s breakaway goal at 13:28 capped the scoring for the first half.

The Wolverines could muster just two scoring opportunities, one coming on a direct kick with 9:13 left until halftime. Tim Chappelle fired but his shot was broken up and cleared away by Dillan Wells.

Wiscasset played better in the second half. In the opening minutes, Matt Chapman cut to his right and fired but his shot was deflected wide of the goal. Chris Loyola had a nice shot from the right side but Roadrunner goalie Jack Deming was there for the save.

Another Wolverine scoring opportunity came at 15:40. Brian Foye chipped a corner kick to the goal mouth but a Roadrunner defender got to the ball first and cleared it away. Oskar Martinz from Hunter Bates netted the Roadrunners sixth goal (25:25). Jackson Materson (7:19) and Nate Luce (4:39) scored the final two goals in the 8-nil victory.

Mt. Abram finished with a 15 to 5 shot edge. Wolverine goalie Caleb Gabriele recorded six saves. L J Travis worked in relief of Gabriele in the final eight minutes and had two saves.
