Wolverines in 5-2 win over Dirigo
Brandon Goud scored three goals on Senior Night, leading the Wolverines to a 5-2 victory over visiting Dirigo in a rain-soaked soccer game Thursday night.
It was the fifth win in a row for the Wolverines, who finish the Mountain Valley Conference season tomorrow afternoon at Lisbon High School.
With 21:19 left to play in the first half, Goud lit up the scoreboard, booting Max Sampson’s pass past Cougar keeper Colin Woodhead.
As it turned out, that was the only goal of the first half, although Wiscasset Middle High School clearly dominated possession of the ball.
The weather then took a turn for the worse in the second half, a light drizzle turning into a steady rain.
Goud found the net again at the 27:04 mark, then Kevin James, (Josh Kramley assisting) put the Wolverines up 3-0 at 23:42.
Goud’s “hat trick” came at 22:32. Russell Marr joined the scoring parade with 16:47 left to play, making it 5-0. Josh Gabriele picked up an assist on the goal.
Tyler Brown broke up the shutout at 9:20. Brown then scored again (Vic Verrill assisting) with 7:13 left, although by this time most of the Wolverines starters were watching from the sideline.
Wiscasset finished with a 14-5 shot edge. Conlon Ranta started in goal for Wiscasset with Sam Strozier working the closing minutes.
The win put Wiscasset’s record at 9-4. Entering the game they were ranked third in the Class C Heal point standings behind Hall-Dale and Monmouth, two teams the Wolverines defeated this year. The Wolverines are assured a post season playoff spot.
Before the start of the game, Coach Cossette recognized his 10 senior players: Aidan Carlson, Brandon Goud, Ethan James, Josh Kramley, Kevin Lynch, Russell Marr, Conlon Ranta, Alex Strozier, Nate Woodman and Grant Hefler.
