The Wiscasset Lady Wolverines lost their closest game of the year to Dirigo, 35-33, in a varsity basketball makeup game Monday night in Dixfield.

Wiscasset led 14-10 at the half, as both teams played for their first victory. Lindsey Gordon scored nine points, seven in the second half, as her play in the paint kept Wiscasset out in front until 2:19 left in the third quarter, when Dirigo sophomore guard Jaycee Cole hit a bucket to put Dirigo up 22-21. 

Wiscasset regained the lead with 3:45 left in the fourth, on two free throws from Maeve Blodgett, to go up 29-28. Gordon got a late hoop with 32 seconds left to play, closing the gap to 32-31, but free throws by Dirigo would help secure the victory.

Wiscasset was led by Gordon, who also contributed seven rebounds and eight steals, while Grace Webber added eight points, including two free throws with .7 seconds left. Blodgett finished with six, Sydnie Thayer finished with six points and five boards, and Jade Rego chipped in four.

Next up, Wiscasset hosts Richmond Thursday night in a makeup game from Wednesday. Junior varsity starts at 5:30 p.m. and varsity at 7 p.m.
