Win against Cumberland
On August 26, Midcoast United's U12 soccer team started its fall season with a 3-1 win against Cumberland at Cumberland.
From the onset, Midcoast applied great pressure; midfielder Simon Spear’s early shots on goal went wide. With Timmy Chappelle in the Midcoast net and a seasoned defense (Ella Spear, Bayly Gaughan, Ethan Carmolli, Partick Gudroe, Will Shaffer and Avery Stewart), any chance Cumberland had was quickly rebutted with ease. Rookie Jack Buthy, in his first game with Midcoast, showed a great read of the game, ably assisting the veteran midfielders.
After many shots on net, Midcoast’s Shaffer scored the first goal of the match on a penalty kick. Midcoast secured the lead with a nice pass from Spear to Shaffer for a 2-0 lead. Keeping the momentum going, the Midcoast crew put together another series of passes leading to Shaffer’s third goal.
Cumberland finally had its chance getting by the Midcoast defense with a shot that keeper Chappelle attempted to save with a tip over. The game finished with a 3-1 Midcoast win.
The next game for the U12 team will be Sunday, September 9 at 1:30 in Freeport at the Hunter Road fields.
