Windham hosted Kennebunk
in the Class A South girls soccer quarterfinal game on Tuesday evening.
Kennebunk put the
pressure on right out of the gate, pounding the ball downfield while
intercepting the Lady Eagles’ passes in an attempt to push back. Windham goalie
senior Sadie Nelson worked hard in protecting her net against Kennebunk. It
wasn't until late in the first half that the ball slipped by Nelson to give
Kennebunk first blood. Kennebunk shot out of the gate and scored a quick second
goal that was a shock to everyone. It appeared that the ball got lost in the
mix of kicks and slipped by into the goal. At half time the score was 2-0 in
favor of Kennebunk.
The Lady Eagles came
back after half time with a vengeance and stepped up their game. The Eagles
didn't want this to be their last game of 2015. Windham senior Ciera Berthiaume
had three breakaway shots on Kennebunk goalie Schwartzman without success.
Schwartzman stepped out of goalie to challenge Berthiaume and was able to
derail her attempts. Junior Lyndsey Arsenault had several nice runs up the
sideline with the ball only to have the pass off to a teammate be intercepted
by Kennebunk. Kennebunk players seemed to be all over the field and in just the
right spots to stop any and all attempts from the Eagles.
All the effort put forth
in the second half wasn't enough for the Lady Eagles to turn around what
Kennebunk was able to do in the first half of the game. The score remained 2-0
and the Lady Eagles ended their 2015 season.
Congratulations to the
lady eagles for an outstanding 2015 season.
