Linzie Gregoire scored two first-half goals as the visiting Rams pulled away for a Western Maine Conference win over host Freeport.
Bailey Coffin and Natalie Anderson scored in the first half for the 2-1-1 Falcons, who host Lake Region on Wednesday at 4 p.m.
But, Kennebunk (3-2) took advantage of turnovers, outscoring Freeport 3-0 after halftime.
“The score is not reflective of the game,” said Freeport coach Marcia Wood. “They scored and we countered, and we countered again. We made them make mistakes, but we made too many mistakes.”
