This past Sunday found three of the four Midcoast United Soccer teams on the road for strong match ups. 

Midcoast's U14 team traveled to Falmouth and won. Goals were scored by Simon Spear, Seamus Mann and Hannah Cola, with assists from Tim Chappelle and Mann.

Midcoast U12 and U10 age teams both traveled to Gray-New Gloucester. The U10 team won 3-1.

Goalie Will Farrell made strong saves and only let one goal by midway through the second half. Isaac Thompson assisted on a goal by Maddox Tilas in the first half. Tilas also put the ball in the net twice in the second half, though the 3-1 win was a true team effort.

The U12 team then took the field in a back and forth battle with the GNG Patriots, who won, 5-3. Ben Pierce manned the goal in the first half, but the GNG team's quick offense was able to score four by halftime. Patrick McKinney put two strong shots on goal, both of which found the back of the net, bringing the score 4-2. Another goal by Jack Duncan closed the gap to 4-3.

Garrett Day held on as keeper the second half, but GNG was able to get one more by, with a final score 5-3, GNG.

At the home field in Boothbay, the U9 team hosted and tied Yarmouth. Gavin Albert assisted Mica Houghton with one goal and Casey Duncan contributed two goals. Benno Hennig, Alexx Roy, Nick Russ and Duncan each played strong in the goal.
