Wiscasset ends regular season with 11 wins
Playing in her last home game, Wiscasset High School senior Michaela Trudeau had one goal: Win or lose, she wanted to net a goal of her own.
Trudeau has been a defensive stalwart and sometimes-goalie for the Wolverines for four years, during which she had never scored a goal. Her drought extends through her middle school years and goes back to when she played for the youth league.
On October 17, that streak came to an end.
Trudeau had one of Wiscasset's 10 goals in a 10-1 home romp over Telstar to close out a regular season in which the Wolverines went 11-2-1.
“I was just thinking that if I miss this, I am going to be so mad,” she said. “It hit the cross bar and I knew I had to follow through. I bounced it in off my knee and it went in.
“I'm in shock right now. I'm so excited.”
Trudeau's was the last Wiscasset goal of the night. Sarah Hanley got the Wolverines started with goal two minutes into the first half. Approximately 16 minutes would roll by before Shania Marr netted her first goal to push Wiscasset's lead to 2-0. In the last three-and-a-half minutes of the first half Marr and Hanley would score their second goals to give Wiscasset a 4-0 lead going into halftime.
Only 18 seconds into the second half, Miranda McIntire scored her first goal. One minute later she scored her goal and with 32 minutes remaining in the game she scored her third and final goal to cement the hat trick.
“It's a great feeling,” McIntire said after the game. “Everyone got in, got a chance to play.”
Casey Cromwell added two goals of her own in her last regular-season game at home. Telstar was finally able to sneak in a goal with a little more than two minutes remaining to prevent the shutout.
Wiscasset also learned that it will not be playing for an MVC crown after St. Dom's and Madison secured first- and second-place rankings.
But, as Coach Duane Goud told his team after the win, the important hardware will be a state title, not conference crown.
