From staff reports

BATH – Top-ranked Morse scored four goals in the second half Tuesday, overcoming a two-goal halftime deficit and downing eighth-seeded Freeport 4-2 in a Western Class B schoolgirl soccer quarterfinal.

The match was scoreless until the final 13 minutes of the first half when the Falcons (7-8-1) scored on a penalty kick. Freeport took a 2-0 halftime lead by scoring on a corner kick six minutes later.

Miracle Trimble of Morse (13-1-1) then stole the Falcons' kickoff pass to open the second half and fed Brianna Williams for the first Morse score with just over 20 seconds elapsed. Paige Martin had the assist on the next goal, scored by Trimble.

The score remained tied until the final seven minutes, when Martin hit the upper corner with a 20-yard shot. Williams added a goal less than two minutes later.

Morse finished with an 18-9 advantage in shots.

 

POLAND 2, YORK 1: Emma Turton and Emily Bolduc teamed up for two goals as the fourth-seeded Knights (8-5-2) held off fifth-ranked York (7-7-1) in a Western Class B quarterfinal at Poland.

Turton gave Poland the lead 15 minutes into the match, taking a through pass from Bolduc and beating the keeper one-on-one. Ten minutes into the second half, Turton put the ball in play with a flip throw and Bolduc dribbled it in for the score.

Shannon Todd got an assist from Sierra Swasey to score for the Wildcats with 18 minutes left, but Haley Whitworth made eight saves for the win.
