Kasey Cromwell finished off a long pass from Michaela Trudeau for the game’s only goal as the Wolverines improved to 3-0 in Mountain Valley Conference play at Madison.

Cromwell’s goal came with 13:11 remaining in the first half, and Wiscasset goaltender Kayla Gordon (five saves) preserved the lead with a diving stop midway through the second half.

“This team is starting to come together and play with more confidence,” said Wiscasset coach Duane Goud, whose squad is scheduled to host Dirigo on Friday at 4 p.m.

Tylan Onorato and Hanna Foye played well for the victors on defense, while Madison (1-2) goaltender Savanna Kandiko turned away four shots.

 
 
At Readfield, the 0-1-1 Shipbuilders finished with a 25-10 shot advantage, but ended in a scoreless Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference deadlock with Maranacook (0-0-1).

“The midfield play of Bess Howell and Paige Martin sparked the total team effort,” said Morse coach Steve Boyce, whose Shipbuilders host Winslow on Friday at 6:30 p.m.

After outshooting the Black Bears 7-6 in the first half, Morse took over, using short passing to keep the ball in the Maranacook end of the field. However, the goalpost and the packed-in Maranacook defense kept the Shipbuilders from breaking through.

Morse had five corner kicks in the game.
