Although the Wiscasset High School boys varsity soccer team was able to control the tempo, as well as the ball, for most of its season opener, the Wolverines were unable to score and tied, 0-0, September 7 at home against Carrabec.
The Wolverines (0-0-1) opened the game by pinning the Cobras (0-0-1) deep in their own territory, and kept the ball on Carrabec’s side for most of the first half.
Wiscasset’s J.D. Souza was able to sneak past Carrabec defenders several times, only to be blocked by a stingy, senior-laden Carrabec defense.
Wiscasset goalie Nate Mills only had to deal with a handful of shots in the first half. He deftly deflected all of them.
His counterpart, Carrabec senior Trent Richardson, was equally up to the task, and managed to deflect an aggressive Wiscasset attack.
As the second half began, Carrabec, behind midfielder Will Crawford, was able to press the Wolverines, but Wiscasset’s defense refused to bend.
The game went to double overtime, but neither team was able to sneak a goal past either erstwhile goalie.
On Tuesday, Sept. 10 Wiscasset will play at Mt. Abram, then return home for a 4 p.m., September 16 romp with Mountain Valley.
