SANFORD — The Sanford girls soccer team is having a good start in its first season as the Spartans. After outscoring its opponents 15-3 in the first two games, Sanford kept the offensive output going in its home opener against Kennebunk, rolling past the Rams 5-0 Monday evening.

Taylor Littlefield opened the scoring 15 minutes in ”“ in perfect position after Hannah Kallis’ shot was deflected by Kennebunk goalie Kyra Schwartzman. Rachel Fink extended the lead to 2-0 five minutes later when the Rams couldn’t clear away a corner kick from Kallis, and Fink was the beneficiary.

Sanford played the aggressor in possessing the ball, as goalie Kellie Tovey played bystander for much of the first half. Cara McCluskey had a couple of looks at the Sanford goal late in the half, but they were from outside the 18.

The Spartans pulled away at the end of the first half, as Littlefield scored off a corner kick from Kallis that looped toward the net, and Allison Legere put Sanford up 4-0 with one minute to go on a pass from Littlefield.

After scoring four goals in each of Sanford’s first two games, Kallis was held scoreless by the Rams. Kennebunk coach John Dolan said she still made an impact, however.

“I thought that she played very well with her head up, and she really distributed the ball well,” said Dolan, and added, she is “a quality player. Really helps control their midfield. And those two work real well off of each other. They have a lot of weapons. They can certainly put the ball in the back of the net.”

Sanford head coach Kendra Brown said she was glad that the scoring came from multiple sources, noting that it will only help the team to be balanced.

“We had a good team effort, it wasn’t just one person scoring them all. Anytime you can come out and have multiple people score, I think your team is probably going to be successful,” said Brown.

The scoring died down in the second half, even if the shots didn’t. Kristin Metevier missed a one-on-one chance for Kennebunk early, and McCluskey found herself near the goal again, but to no avail. Kallis was determined to keep her scoring streak going for Sanford, but was turned away by Schwartzman, the Rams defense, and by just barely putting a shot wide, as she did midway through the half when a shot went on the wrong side of the post.

Morgan Fogg closed out the scoring for Sanford, as she found the back of the net off of a deflection.

Sanford has shown to be a tough opponent through the first three games of the season, and with Kallis and Littlefield, they have a dynamic duo on offense, Brown said. However, Brown said that if teams key on those two, the rest of the team knows how to step up.

“There’s a lot of girls on this team that are stepping up. When someone is double-teamed, or someone is marked, they’re looking for the open teammate,” she said.

Despite giving up five goals, Schwartzman put in a solid effort, and Dolan said he had nothing to complain about.

“Kyra is doing tremendous work for us. She’s a really young keeper,” said Dolan. “She played real well. I’m real proud of her.”
