SALEM — After battling to a 1-1 deadlock in the first half, Mt. Abram rallied with three goals in the second frame to pull out a 4-1 Mountain Valley Conference boys soccer victory over Wiscasset.
The Wolverines (0-1-1) jumped out to a 1-0 advantage when J.D. Souza converted a feed from Russell Marr, and Wiscasset had a chance to go up 2-0 on a penalty kick. But, Roadrunners goaltender Greg Siekman made one of his 12 stops, and Mt. Abram (1-1) tied the game moments later when Bryson Walker (assisted by Colin McCarthy- Edwards) slipped a shot past Wiscasset goaltender Dylan McMahon.
“Our effort was high, but we’re just not getting the results yet,” said Wiscasset coach Todd Souza, whose squad is 0-1-1 and hosts Mountain Valley on Monday at 4 p.m.
In the second half, Cal Dixon scored 11 minutes in for a 2-1 Mt. Abram lead, and Dixon was credited with a second goal on a Wiscasset own goal. Gerardo Rio completed the scoring with 8:47 remaining.
McMahon had eight saves in the loss. Wiscasset held a 19-15 shots advantage, with the Roadrunners claiming a slight 4-3 edge in corner kicks.
Playing well for the Wolverines were Mason Whittaker, JD Souza and Russell Marr.
