Windham’s JV team was tied at 1-1 at the half and came back to outscore the Red Storm and took home a 3-2 victory.
Varsity
Windham was a little slow to start in the first half, but they would find their momentum later on. Scarborough scored twice early in the game.
Windham had multiple shots at goal and was aggressive during parts of the half but not able to score.
The Windham defense stopped a couple scoring opportunities for Scarborough who led 2-0 at the half.
Yet Windham continued to take shots at goal in the second half. Windham sophomore Stella Jarvais sent the ball in the net.
Later in the game, Windham senior Abbey Thornton scored off a corner kick from Windham senior Liz Levesque.
Thornton said the team had a good connection during the game; they are close, and communication
went well. Windham’s goal in the second half was to get out there and work harder to go after the win.
Windham defense kept Scarborough’s score low. Although the Red Storm did score twice in the second half, Windham contended when sophomore Jaelyn Poitras scored later in the game.
“We connected a little bit more in the middle,” said Windham varsity girls’ soccer coach Deb Lebel. “We started going to the ball better at times; some of the upperclassmen really stepped up and decided they were going to take over.”
Lebel said the summer season shows where the team might need work in a fun relaxed manner.
JV
Windham pressured early but Scarborough scored. Then Windham freshman Sydney Broadbent found the back of the net.
Windham continued to move the ball well. They took several shots at goal. Windham had solid defense and communication.
The game was tied at one at the half.
Windham JV girls’ soccer coach Lisa Anderson said communication and teamwork were key in this
game because they had to play a hard defense. They had leadership from goalie to sweeper to stopper.
Anderson said the season has gone very well. A lot of the players have played together over the years, and this puts them in a good spot for the upcoming fall season.
In the second half, Windham didn’t let a momentary downpour stop their efforts. Windham kept the pressure up until the final whistle.
Scarborough scored.
Broadbent scored again, assisted by freshman Brianna Duarte.
“We played our hardest and made sure to pass-defeat instead of playing straight up the field,” said Broadbent. “We all wanted to win so we put our effort into it.”
Broadbent said passing and communication were big factors in Windham beating Scarborough.
Later on, Windham freshman Neve Ledbetter got the ball by the goalie to send Windham past the Red Storm. <
