The Webber sisters provided all the offense the Wolverines needed in a 5-0 soccer win over Mountain Valley. Friday afternoon’s game hosted by Wiscasset Middle High School was the season opener for both teams.

Senior Grace Webber scored the first of her three goals just five minutes into the game. Her freshman sister Gwen put the Wolverines up 2-0 with three minutes left until halftime and finished with two goals.

Wiscasset won the coin flip and chose to play the first half with the wind at players’ backs and afternoon sun over their shoulders. They controlled play from the opening kickoff.

After Webber’s early goal, Cara Viele found Vanessa Dunn open on the right wing. Dunn shook off two Falcon defenders and fired low to the far post, sending goalie Lauren Sterling down on her knees for the save.

With 15:17 left until the half Sarah Foley passed off to Grace Webber but her shot was wide of the net. Wiscasset regained possession of the ball following the goal kick and Dunn found Lily Souza open who shot but again Sterling was there for the stop. Dunn’s next shot was blocked and cleared away by MV’s Ellie Leduc. By the time the horn sounded ending the first half, the Wolverines had outshot the Falcons 14-0.

“Have confidence and communicate. Play the second half like the score is zero to zero,” Coach Duane Goud told his players at the break. When play resumed they quickly took possession of the ball and drove into the wind, deep into MV territory. Just four minutes in, Grace Webber fired and scored from the 18 yard line. She then netted her third goal, unassisted again, at 32:49. Gwenn capped the afternoon off with her second goal, an impressive blast down the middle from over 20 yards away at 20:09.

The Falcons’ best scoring opportunity came in the final 10 minutes when the Wolverines were whistled for an infraction just outside the penalty area.  Brooke Carver’s shot was on the mark but nicely saved by goalie Lindsey Gordon. A second direct kick followed two minutes later but was wide right.

Mid-fielders Arie Mills, Maeve Blodgett and Viele played a solid game for the Wolverines.

Wiscasset’s next game is Tuesday, Sept. 5. The Wolverines will travel to Boothbay Region to play the Seahawks. The opening kickoff is set for 4 p.m.
