Wiscasset/Boothbay won its fourth Mountain Valley Conference soccer game of the season defeating Carrabec 4-1 during the Wolverines’ homecoming celebration Saturday evening.

Matt Chapman scored twice to lead the Wolverines. Other Wiscasset scorers were Tim Chappelle who had a goal and an assist and Rowan Kristan. Goalie Caleb Gabriele picked up an assist on Kristan’s goal.

Chappelle’s unassisted goal lit up the scoreboard at 24:08 of the first half. At 5:06, Kristan took possession of the ball following a deep punt from Gabriele. He broke free, carried the ball through the Cobras' backfield and booted it into the net. With about three minutes left, Chapman chipped the ball into the net from the left side to make it 3-0, which is where the score stood at halftime. Chapman’s second goal with Chappelle assisting came about five minutes after play resumed.

With 12:42 left to play, Nate McGray’s unassisted goal put Carrabec on the scoreboard. It was the first goal of the season for the as yet winless Cobras who saw their record fall to 0-9. Gabriele, who is recovering from a knee injury in the Winthrop game, tended goal the first half and recorded two saves.

“We didn’t want to take any chances with Caleb re-injuring his knee so we had him sit out the second half,” said Wolverine Coach Chris Cossette.

Freshman L J Travis goaltended the final 40 minutes and picked up a couple of saves. Brady Clack saved four for Carrabec.

“L J is improving, the important thing is he’s working hard in practice and willing to listen and learn how to play the position,” the coach added.

The win improved Wiscasset/Boothbay’s MVC record to 4-7 with three games remaining.

On Wednesday, Oct. 3 the Wolverines travel to Jay to play Spruce Mountain, a class B high school. The Phoenix have a 1-7 record. Their only win this season came against Dirigo High School, who then defeated the Phoenix in their second meeting.

On Friday, Oct. 5, Wiscasset/Boothbay will be in Farmingdale to face Hall-Dale. The Bulldogs are undefeated at 8-0. This will be the first time the two MVC rivals meet this season.

“It’s a big game for us. Huge in fact,” commented Coach Cossette.

The season finale is Oct. 15 when the Wolverines host Spruce Mountain at 5 p.m.

The game with Telstar set for Oct. 11 and appearing on some older schedules was cancelled earlier this season. The Bethel high school was unable to field a boys’ soccer team.

If the Wolverines can win out they will finish 7-7 in the first year of a combined program with Boothbay Region High School.
