Camden-Rockport Middle School scored three unanswered goals in the second half, which turned what had been a close boys soccer game into a 5-1 win over host Wiscasset Elementary School on Monday afternoon, Sept. 21.

After staking the visitors to a 2-0 lead, Wiscasset rallied back. Brian Foye passed the ball off to Aiden Foley who was open in the goalmouth. Foley’s shot found the net and just like that it was 2-1; the goal came with 4:13 left in the first half.

Wiscasset keeper Dakota Jones kept CRMS off the scoreboard until 20:21 when the visitors netted their first goal. A scrum in front of the Wolverine net with 13:00 left ended with CRMS scoring again to go up 2-0. Wiscasset’s offense then came to life. The Wolverines drove deep and got off a pair of shots, the first rolling wide right. Foley then broke free and carried the ball inside the 18, but his shot was blocked by the CRMS keeper.

Coach Brian Simmonds did a nice job encouraging his Wolverines from the sideline. When the horn sounded ending the half, it looked like the momentum was shifting in Wiscasset’s favor.

CRMS had other ideas and took charge in the second half. They went up 3-1 at 19:32, and 4-1 at 16:56. The final goal came in the last two minutes of the game.

Jones made some fine stops in the net. Although a scorebook wasn’t kept, he probably recorded about 15 saves. The goalie for CRMS had about nine stops, most of those Wiscasset shots coming in the first half.

The Wolverines deserve a lot of credit for not quitting. They played hard right up the final seconds of the game.

Wiscasset’s schedule doesn’t get any easier. They play their next four games on the road, Searsport on Thursday, Great Salt Bay in Damariscotta on Sept. 28, Boothbay Sept. 30, and Medomak in Waldoboro Oct. 5. The Wolverines close out the regular season at home vs. Woolwich on Oct. 7.
