The Wiscasset girls hosted Monmouth in the summer soccer season finale Wednesday evening, July 26. The teams last met in October 2016 during the quarterfinal round of the playoffs.

Monmouth scored four unanswered goals in the 90-minute game that had two certified referees. Due to the heat, the coaches agreed to play quarters. A few minutes into the game, Monmouth was whistled for charging just outside the 18-yard line but Gwen Webber’s direct kick was scooped up by the goalie. Allison Burnham’s unassisted goal in the second quarter put Monmouth up 1-0.

The visitors struck again following a corner kick when Anna Lewis scored. Emily Grandhal’s goal a few minutes before the half made it a 3-0 ballgame. Monmouth’s final goal came from Maya Sirois midway into the third quarter.

Wiscasset had several scoring opportunities in the final quarter. Vanessa Dunn fired off two shots but both were turned away by the Monmouth goalie. Lilly Souza and Lindsey Gordon split the goalkeeping duties for Wiscasset, which was without two of its starting players. Defensive standouts for Wiscasset included Arie Mills and Ellie Pratt in the backfield. Both Gordon and Souza made some nice stops in the net.

Coach Duane Goud said he’s had a good turnout for this summer’s program. Between 15 and 17 girls have been participating including a few incoming freshmen. The game with Monmouth was the team’s fifth of the season. Wiscasset also played Richmond, Oceanside, Winslow and Madison.

The Wiscasset girls will take to the field again Aug. 19 for the Richmond Round Robin Tournament at Richmond High School.
