WELLS — She did it again. They all did.

Which means that Sabrina Link and her Wells field hockey teammates will now get to do something the Warriors have never done, which is, play for the Western Maine Class B championship.

Link helped insure that, Wednesday, with her dramatic game-winner in No. 2 seed Wells 2-1 triumph over No. 3 seed Maranacook, in a regional semi-final clash at Warrior Memorial Field.

Wells will now face top seed (and its chief nemesis) York in the Western Maine title game, scheduled for Saturday on the turf at Kippy Mitchell Athletic Complex in Scarborough at 1 p.m.

It will be the Warriors’ first ever grab at the Regional championship ring, and they’ll have to wrestle it away from York, which has won two of the last three state titles.

“We’re going to give it all we’ve got,” said Link. “And we’ll leave the field knowing that we did. Win or lose.”

Hard to imagine that the Warriors have much left after their yeoman’s effort against Maranacook.

Then again they managed to hit the emotional reload button after last Friday’s quarterfinal triumph over No. 7 Mountain Valley.

And that one, too, was won on penalty corners, by none other than Link.

“This is all familiar,” laughed Link, a junior who patrols the left wing.

Link now has scored twice this season, and the goals couldn’t have been more clutch.

“The kid is just giving it everything she has,” said Wells fourth year coach Kristen Williams, who has overseen a strong turnaround from last year’s 4-6-4 mark. “She’s really playing the best field hockey she could, right now. Not a bad time for it to happen.”

Wells never trailed, having led, 1-0, for most of the first period after Kelsey Lewia scored from Hudson at 6:42.

The Black Bears’ Sarah Maxwell got the equalizer, 4:12 into the second half, which signaled a full-blown Maranacook assault on Wells goalie Deanna Gamache that lasted through the rest of regulation.

Gamache was forced to make 14 saves through two halves, and a handful more in overtime.

Still, the Warriors were able to weather the squalls.

“We just played with our heart,” said senior co-captain Haleigh Hudson, whose welts and wounds gave evidence to the extent of her own heart. “We knew it would make history.”

It nearly became history denied, when, Maranacook was awarded a penalty stroke with 4:46 left in regulation.

However, Gamache thwarted the attempt by Kayla Parker, which was deflected outside the right post.

Nothing was settled by the 16 minute over time, or the first round of corners, which, after Maranacook was denied on its second corner attempt, set the stage for Link’s goal.

It came on a slapshot from a severe angle on the left side of the circle that found its way through the pads of Black Bear goalkeeper Megan Dood.

“I just slapped it,” said Link. “My corners are really just lucky, I guess. They never work as planned.”

This one worked just fine.

Again.
