WINDHAM — Jackie Guillemette’s overtime goal led Massabesic to a 1-0 win over Windham in a defensive battle Monday in field hockey.

“(We were) two evenly matched teams,” said Massabesic coach Michele Martin-Moore. “Both goalies and their respective defensive players were up to the task.”

The first half featured a variety of defensive stands as both goalies and defenders stopped an attacking offense. Several times each team drove deep into the circle only to have the opposing defense stop them and turn the ball up field. The Stags ended the half on the attack, but Windham’s goalkeeper Andrea Feeney was up for the challenge. Feeney made four saves in the final three minutes of the half to protect them from going down 1-0.

In the middle of the second half, Massabesic goalkeeper Abby Greenleaf had three saves, as Windham players shot from multiple angles. Massabesic made a crucial save on an open-goal shot from a Windham attacker right after Greenleaf came out of the goal to make a save.

“Sara Cost made a defensive save for Massabesic to preserve the tie, giving us a chance in the overtime,” said Martin-Moore.

Massabesic again attacked late in the second half. With five minutes to go, the Stags had three chances to score on corners, but Windham held them off. At the end of regulation, the shots were about even with Massabesic taking eight to Windham’s nine.

Windham started with the ball in overtime driving on the Massabesic defense. The Stags gained possession on a steal and passed it out wide to Alex Staples. Staples sent the ball to Hannah Patch, who passed it ahead to Guillemette for the winning goal with 5:33 left. Massabesic (6-1) will travel to Kennebunk (3-3) on Wednesday.
