Goals, like Canada geese, have been coming in bunches at the end of the fall, or so it seems for the Wiscasset Wolverines.

The boys varsity soccer team blasted the Winthrop Ramblers, 2-1, Tuesday, Oct. 14 at home. A day earlier the girls varsity soccer team ousted the Ramblers 2-0.

For the boys team, the goals propelled the Wolverines to its second win on the season. Wiscasset currently sits at 2-10. Winthrop exited the game with a 0-12-1 record.

Wiscasset’s first goal came with a little less than 13 minutes remaining in the first half. Forward Russell Marr sneaked past the Ramblers’ defense and sent home a ringing goal.

The two teams then traded body blows for almost 40 minutes.

The Ramblers’ big midfielders and defenders were able to slow down Wiscasset’s attack until Nate Woodman intercepted a ball and had a one-on-one opportunity. Woodman didn’t miss, and Wiscasset led 2-0.

But things were about to get a bit more tense for the Wolverines.

Winthrop went on the offensive and pushed Wiscasset deep into its own territory. Tyler Nussinow, a Winthrop forward who had been close to capitalizing all day, finally did with 10 minutes and 44 seconds remaining. His shot ricocheted around the Wiscasset goal before finally settling in.

The two teams would threaten to score a fourth goal in the game, but neither could, and Wiscasset walked away the 2-1 winners.

In the girls game, the Ramblers managed just one shot on goal as Wiscasset was able to cruise to the easy victory. The Wiscasset girls varsity team is now 5-7-1 on the season and in 13th place in the Western Class C standings.

The two teams will play Friday, Oct. 17: for the boys it will be a make-up game against Hall-Dale (11-1) at 4:15 p.m. at home. The teams were scheduled to play Thursday, Oct. 16 but rain canceled the game.

After the boys game there will be a presentation for the seniors on both teams. At 6:30 p.m. the girls will take on Hall-Dale (8-5) as well.
