The Boothbay Region High School Lady Seahawks field hockey team lost three straight home games this week to fall to 0-5 on the season.

On September 17, the Spruce Mountain Phoenix dominated the 60-minute game at Perkins Field and won, 9-0. Kayla Meserve scored four goals for Spruce Mountain.

On Monday, September 16, Becca Howard scored three second-half goals and Savannah Patenaude scored a goal in each half as the visiting Telstar Rebels easily defeated the Boothbay Region Lady Seahawks, 7-1.

After Telstar took a 2-0 lead nine minutes into the game, Nicole LaBrecque scored Boothbay’s only goal at 19:26 on a centering pass from Skyler Davis.

The Mountain Valley Falcons edged the Lady Seahawks, 3-1, in a hard-fought field hockey game at Perkins Field on Friday, Sept. 11.

Following a moment of silence in honor of the lives lost during the attack on America on September 11, 2001, the visiting Falcons and Lady Seahawks began testing each other out for the first 18 minutes of the game.

Falcon junior Lindsay Marston scored off a rebounded save in front of the net to give Mountain Valley (2-1) a 1-0 lead with about 13 minutes to play. Three minutes before half-time, sophomore Lexi Duguay gave the Falcons a 2-0 advantage, rifling a shot into the net from about five feet away from Boothbay goalie Erica Eames. Eames made seven saves in the game.

The first 15 minutes of the second half was dominated by Mountain Valley. Duguay scored her second goal of the game at the 19:42 mark of the 30-minute half, putting the visitors ahead, 3-0. After a timeout at the 13-minute mark, Boothbay revved up its game and controlled play the rest of the way.

Getting three more shots at Falcon goalie Kassie Thibodeau (six saves overall), Boothbay scored with just under eight minutes to play. Junior Shaw Pinkham, after dribbling into the scoring circle from about midfield, passed to fellow junior Nicole LaBrecque, who tapped the ball into the net.

“We played better than we have lately,” said Boothbay’s first-year coach Kristin Smith. “We played them evenly for half of the first half and controlled the game the last 13 minutes.”

Omitted from the roster listing in the preview article of the team and season was freshman Nicole Clarke. Also joining the team this week was freshman Willow Beavis.
