Another day, another win for the Wolverines.
The Wiscasset High School girls varsity soccer team extended its winning streak to five games and romped over Lisbon, 2-1, at home on October 3.
The Wolverines (7-2-1) have not lost since September 13 against second-ranked Madison High School. Wiscasset currently occupies the number three seed in the Class C Western Conference. St. Dominics, a team the Wolverines defeated earlier in the year, is still the top-ranked team in the division.
Again it was Wiscasset's seniors leading the way: Goals came from Sarah Hanley and Shania Marr.
Hanley didn't waste much time to get Wiscasset on the board; she guided a goal home seven minutes into the game.
But Lisbon proved to be a formidable foe. The Greyhounds locked down on defense and were able to challenge the Wolverines on defense.
With 24 minutes and 46 seconds remaining until halftime, Lisbon's Deliah Schreiber got her team on the board after smoking a penalty shot through the goal to knot the score at one.
The game would stay locked at one with Wiscasset's high-powered offense unable to slip past the Greyhounds' aggressive defense until Marr found a bit of space and returned a rebound to the back of Lisbon's goal.
Wiscasset Goalie Kayla Gordon stopped five of six shots fired her way and received strong defensive efforts from Michaela Trudeau, Briana Goud and Kasey Cromwell.
Overall, the Wolverines took 18 shots on goal.
Wiscasset will play next at 3:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 7 at Monmouth Academy.
