The Morse High School girls soccer team earned a hard-fought 3-2 Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference victory over Lincoln Academy Tuesday night at McMann Field.
Ella Martin fed Emily Martin with a pass along the right side of the field. Emily Martin gained a step on her defender and fired a hard shot into the back of the cage with 34 seconds remaining in the first overtime.
The 2-0 Shipbuilders, who visit Erskine Academy on Thursday at 3:30 p.m., jumped out to a 1-0 lead 27 minutes into the game. Rose Atienza headed a pass to freshman Julia Goddard, who pushed a shot past the Eagles keeper for her first high school tally.
Morse made it 2-0 just over 10 minutes later as Emily Martin settled a throw-in from Dory Kulis before scoring.
It didn’t take long for the Eagles to begin their comeback in the second half. Tatum Hancock used her speed to gain an advantage and she fired a low shot past Morse goalkeeper Marissa Parks (six saves) to get the visitors on the board just four minutes into the second frame.
With 15 minutes remaining, Lincoln scored again, this time off a corner kick scrum for a 2-2 tie.
Parks kept her team in it with a point-blank save with two minutes left in regulation.
