Midcoast United’s U-13 soccer team defeated the Falmouth U-13 team, 5-4, on the turf field at Falmouth High School on Sunday, Sept. 29. 

Midcoast got its first goal from Isaac Craig and after two penalty kick goals by Simon Spear, the score stood at 3-1 at the half. Spear made the score 4-1 with a goal before Falmouth got two more goals. With the increasing sense that the game could go either way, Will Shaffer knocked in one more goal for Midcoast.

Falmouth came back with a goal, but Midcoast was able to hold on through the closing minutes. With this match, Midcoast’s record is 4-0 with 2 matches left in the regular season. 

The U-11 team lost at Cumberland, 2-1, in a hard-fought game Sunday.

The U-10 team held on for a 1-0 win at Freeport on Sunday. Jack Duncan got the only goal on an assist from Patrick McKenney. With help from a powerful defense of Will Farrell, Kayden Ames, Drew Meader and Ellory Stewart, goalie Andrew Gudroe stopped some great shots on goal during the first half of the game. The team improved to 4 -1 on the season.
