KENNEBUNK — Zander Haskell’s third goal of the game came with 4:24 remaining Monday and lifted Scarborough to a 4-3 victory against Kennebunk in a game between undefeated SMAA boys’ soccer teams.
It was the third straight three-goal game for Haskell, a freshman striker for the Red Storm (8-0-2).
Kennebunk (7-1-2) took a 3-2 lead with 30 minutes to play when Tyler Hurlbert banged a long-range shot into the top left corner, after adeptly touching down a loose ball with his right shoulder.
Kennebunk shifted midfielder Max Murray to center back to try and protect the one-goal lead, and the strategy worked until Scarborough defender Parker Killiard, another freshman, drove a long diagonal crossing pass from near the right sideline to the left post, which Zachary Chaisson headed home for the tying goal with 5:52 to play.
“This was one of the bigger wins of the year,” Chaisson said. “We fought through to the end and we wanted it.”
Scarborough took a 1-0 lead on Haskell’s first goal. Kennebunk responded with first-half goals from Connor Keefe and Murray (on a penalty kick). Haskell tied made it 2-2 with a flicked-in header to finish a quick counter-attack with three seconds left in the half.
