BATH — Miracle Trimble and Ruth Nadeau each scored a goal as the Morse High School girls soccer team defeated Oceanside, 2-0, on Thursday in Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference Class B action.
The Shipbuilders, 2-1-1 and slated to visit Leavitt on Saturday (5 p.m.), maintained territorial advantage for most of the first half, amassing a 15-3 shots advantage. But, it wasn’t until 12 minutes remaining in the half when Trimble broke into the penalty area and tucked the ball into the goal to give Morse a 1-0 lead at the half.
The second half saw Morse continue to control the midfield, with Bess Howell, Paige Martin and Morgan Cram setting up numerous scoring opportunities.
But, the goal posts and Oceanside keeper, Kennadi Grover, kept Morse off the board. Nadeau gave the Shipbuilders some breathing room, finishing off a Trimble pass to complete the win.
Morse held a 27-8 shots advantage. Sadia Crosby earned the shutout with eight saves.
