Wiscasset girls win big
Although a senior's homecoming can be a bittersweet affair, it was mostly sweet for Wiscasset and senior Sarah Hanley.
Playing Boothbay Region High School on September 28, in front of a packed field, Henley notched two goals to pace the Wolverines to a 9-0 win.
Hanley said that while it was a bit sad to be at her last homecoming, the win over a rival more than made up for it.
“It's a little sad,” she said. “But, I've been looking forward to it.
“It feels great: I thought we played really great. We made great passes and showed them what we are made of.”
Wiscasset didn't have to wait long to get on the board: Brianna Goud scored one minute and 30 seconds into the game and within three minutes Hanley and Kasey Cromwell had tacked on goals to make it 3-0 with 35 minutes remaining in the half.
Wiscasset would receive goals from Miranda McIntire, Brooke Carleton and two from Katie-Lynn Mills (which were scored a minute-and-a-half apart) gave the Wolverines a 7-0 lead going into half time.
Maeve Carlson started the second half with a goal and Hanley joined in with 35 minutes remaining to finalize the score at 9-0.
Michaela Trudeau again started in net for the injured Kayla Gordon and again shut out the other team. The senior had six shot sent at her and didn't allow one to get past her.
Coach Duane Goud said a large crowd wasn't a distraction for the Wolverines.
“They came out ready to play,” he said. “The passes were working really well; they weren't just kicking it around, they were making good passes and giving their teammates a chance.”
Speaking of chance, Goud said every player got a chance to play Saturday.
