In the first half, the Cougars jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead, but were stymied by Boothbay's defensive pressure, led by Brenna Alley, in the second half. Jaime Wheeler came up with 12 saves in goal and only gave up one goal in the second half.

Boothbay's home opener on September 16 showcased a determined Lady Seahawks team improving its skills on both ends of the field. Despite two goals scored by midfielder Sinead Miller, Boothbay was outmatched by the Greyhounds, who scored six goals in the first half.

Coach Kim Dionne said Boothbay was only bringing the pressure in the second half, and they needed to bring up the intensity for whole game.

“I have been very proud of the my freshmen and the way they are taking control of the game,” Dionne said. “We have really strong players, and with a little more confidence and a win under our belt, I believe we have the potential to be a strong team.”
