In a game in which five yellow cards and two red cards were handed out for shoving and pushing, the Wiscasset girls soccer team dominated the Winthrop Ramblers at home on Monday, defeating them 4-0.

Winthrop players received three yellow cards and two reds, while the Ramblers coach earned himself a yellow card. Wiscasset received one yellow card.

“They were pretty tense, but we kept our cool and played our game,” Wiscasset captain Sarah Hanley said.

Wiscasset took an early 2-0 lead. Maeve Carlson scored unassisted just three minutes in. Five minutes later Kasey Cromwell scored on a cross from Shania Marr. Wiscasset controlled the ball most of the half and had several scoring opportunities but wasn’t able to capitalize.

Early in the second half, a penalty for pushing gave Carlson an indirect kick, which she placed over the head of Winthrop’s goalie giving Wiscasset a 3-0 lead.

Wiscasset’s final score came with 19:32 remaining in the game and was executed by Miranda McIntire. Alecia Faulkingham was credited with the assist.  

“We played hard and had some nice crosses,” Coach Duane Goud said. “We had a lot of opportunities and we were working well together.

Wiscasset outshot Winthrop, 22-0.
