The Wolverine girls scored first but couldn’t hold on, losing 3-1 to visiting Mountain Valley in the season finale for both Mountain Valley Conference soccer teams Tuesday night.

Sydnie Thayer gave Wiscasset Middle High School the early lead that resulted from a corner taken by Gwen Webber. Falcon goalie Taylor Henry slapped the ball away. Thayer got to it first and booted the ball over her head into the net. That one goal stood up all the way to the 18:56 mark of the second half.  Kaylee Pelliter’s shot from 30 yards found its way into the net tying the game. She netted the game-winning goal about seven minutes later. The final goal with 7:17 left in the game was booted in by Kierstyn Lyons.

Between those last two scores, Wiscasset keeper Lily Souza recorded a save on a penalty kick. The Wolverines were whistled for the infraction at the same time they had a player down on the field with an injury.

The Wolverines controlled possession of the ball for the first 20 minutes of play. At one point, they had three corner kick opportunities in three minutes. They scored on their fourth attempt. Natalie Potter broke free with the ball with 8:30 left until halftime. She carried the ball inside the 18-yard line but Henry charged out and broke up the shot.

In the second half, Brianna Orr made a nice move in the Falcon backfield but once again Henry was there for the stop. Later the Falcons averted another Wolverine scoring opportunity by clearing away Webber’s corner kick. Mountain Valley finished with a 12-11 shot edge. Both goalies ended the night with eight saves. The Wolverines and Mt. Valley each entered the game with a 1-12 record.
