In a physical, bruising game the night of October 8, it was the Wiscasset High School boys varsity soccer team that was left standing over Spruce Mountain.

Wiscasset won, 2-0, in a defense-heavy game. The win moves the Wolverines to 6-3-2 on the season while the Spruce Mountain Phoenix fell to 6-3-1.

The first goal of the game was scored with 13 minutes remaining in the first half. Junior Camden Reiss, who had been able to muscle his way down the field for most of the afternoon, made a quick pass to freshman Russell Marr who put the ball in the back of the net.

Wiscasset would dominate for most of the first half, as Spruce Mountain was unable to get deep into Wolverine territory. The second saw a reenergized Phoenix attack that put pressure on Wiscasset goalie Dylan McMahon.

But McMahon and the Wolverines wouldn't give in, and freshmen Brandon Goud booted a pass to sophomore JD Souza who netted an insurance goal for Wiscasset with 32:55 remaining.

From there it was up to a Wiscasset defense to hold Spruce Mountain at bay.

McMahon was able to kill a penalty kick; and strong efforts from Brycson Grover, Mason Whitaker and Andrew Corson sealed the win for the Wolverines.
