Hanna Foye waited a long time to score her first high school goal.

She didn't have to wait so long for her second.

Foye scored for the second consecutive game and the Wiscasset High School girls varsity soccer team upturned the Carrabec Cobras, 2-1, Tuesday, Sept. 9.

Foye, a senior, scored the first goal of her high school career Friday, Sept. 5 against Boothbay Region. Her second goal came in the second half of a 1-1 tie with Carrabec.

While Wiscasset dominated early in both halves, the Cobras were still pressing the Wolverine defense when Foye, who might have the strongest kick on the team, booted a ball from well outside the box that found an empty stretch of Carrabec net.

“I think I was just as shocked as everyone else,” Foye said.

The Wolverines (2-0) scored with 19:57 remaining in the first half when sophomore Gabby Chapman connected off a rebound to bounce the ball past Carrabec goal keeper Stephanie Cossaboom.

Six minutes later the Cobras answered when Liberty Chestnut sent a corner kick curving perfectly to the opposite side of the net to knot the game at one.

The two teams were evenly matched for most of the game, with neither side able to capitalize on numerous crosses, until Foye put Wiscasset ahead for good.

Senior Kayla Gordon was again stout in net, as she racked up 12 saves. Wiscasset shot the ball 18 times against Carrabec's Cossaboom.
