It was the moment Boothbay lacrosse player Molly Thibault had waited two seasons for. Twenty-seconds into her team’s match with Camden Hills on May 22, she scored her first varsity goal. Thibault’s goal was one of nine Seahawk first half goals en route to a 15-4 victory at Sherman Field.

Thibault and the team’s three other seniors — Nicole Clarke, Kate Friant and Lexi Welch — were all recognized prior to the game. But Thibaut’s goal was definitely the game highlight in Boothbay’s sixth win of the season. Boothbay is now 6-2 and in seventh place in the Class B North Heal point standings. Camden Hills is now 2-7 and in 11th place.

Scoring a varsity goal has been on Thibault’s mind all season. She imagined what it would be like scoring her first goal on Senior Night prior to the game.

“I did some power posing visualizing what it would be like scoring,” she said. “Lincoln (Hamblett) passed me the ball in front of the crease. I turned and shot the ball right into the goal. I was real happy to do it here on senior night.”

Her teammates followed suit scoring eight more first half goals in building a 9-0 lead. Thibault was followed by Jackie McLoon scoring the first of her two goals 13 seconds later. The Camden Hills defense regrouped and kept Boothbay from scoring for seven minutes. But Friant tallied the first of her two goals at the 12 minute 4 second mark giving Boothbay a 3-0 lead. More goals came as Sydney Meader scored the first of her five goals 42 seconds later. And Hali Goodwin followed with her lone goal 41 seconds later, propelling Boothbay to a 5-0 lead.

Other Boothbay scorers were Evy Case, Chloe Arsenault and Jo Shaw, with one apiece.

With four games left, Boothbay has a chance to match last season’s 10-2 record. The Seahawks are also hoping to earn a home playoff game in the tournament. The Seahawks are in a favorable position to improve their ranking as they have played fewer games than schools ranked fourth through sixth in the standings. The Seahawks have played three fewer than No. 4 Saint Dom’s,  and two fewer than No. 5 Cony and No. 6 Freeport.

Friant thinks the team is on track for being a tough opponent in the post season. She thinks her team needs to improve its overall play as the tournament approaches. “We need to stay focused and fine tune our game especially on defense,” she said.

Boothbay will play Lincoln Academy (2-8) in Newcastle on Wednesday, May 24.
