Valley 5 – Wiscasset 0
The Wiscasset boys soccer team lost 5-0 to Valley on Friday, Oct. 3 in Bingham. The teams played with seven players on each side instead of eight due to a short bench for Wolverines, who was missing their whole starting defense. Valley led 3-0 at halftime.
The Wolverines hung in the game until Valley scored a pair of goals in the final five minutes to clinch the 5-0 shutout win.
“Overall, we stuck close to a good team that has only lost one game all year,” said Wiscasset head coach James Andretta. “It would have been a closer match if we were at full strength.”
The Wolverines dropped to 1-6-1 in the South division of the eight person league. Valley improved to 8-1.
