Windham Christian Academy's varsity soccer
team won the Maine Christian
School
Sports League (MCSSL) soccer championship. The MCSSL is made up of 14
Christian schools
throughout southern Maine.
Windham Christian Academy faced Seacoast
Christian School of South Berwick in
the championship game played at Memorial
Field in Portland. The two teams had split
two games during
the regular season both winning
at home. The loss to Seacoast Christian
had been Windham
Christian's only loss on the year.
In the championship game, Windham
Christian's offense was back to full strength
after having lost three starters to injuries during parts of the season.
The Warrior's
offense controlled play for most of the game and came away with the 7-2
championship
win. Leading the way were: Noah Seavey, four goals, two assists; Christian
Twombly (captain) one goal,
three assists; Alex Williamson (captain) two assists; and Brandon
Berry two goals.
The defense
for Windham Christian was solid all season allowing
just 17 goals on the season, by far the fewest in the league. Led by defensive captain,
Jason Gulstrom in goal, the defense consistently turned back the Seacoast attack
and put the ball back on the feet of the Warrior
offense. Defensive standouts were Matt Fletcher, Ausashia Day, Katie Willard
and Seth Strout.
Coach Roy Mickelson stated,
"This was a total team effort, every player gave their all
and every player
contributed to the team's
success. I am so very proud of this team
for how they have embraced the team concept, honored one another, and for the lessons
they learned doing so."
