TOPSHAM — Kristen Pierce and Caitlin LaFountain scored 4:31 apart midway through the second half as the Mt. Ararat High School field hockey team pulled away for a 4-1 Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference win over Lewiston on Tuesday.

The Eagles, who ended a two-game slide, improved to 6-7 and look to get to .500 at home on Saturday against rival Brunswick. Lewiston fell to 2-10.

Carly Raymond staked the Eagles to a 1-0 lead with 14:50 left until halftime, but Lewiston’s Shaima Naji tied the game five minutes later.

The game remained deadlocked until Raymond set up Pierce for the go-ahead goal with 19:43 remaining, and Raymond picked up a second assist on LaFountain’s goal for a 3-1 lead. Raymond finished off her four-point afternoon with a goal late in regulation.

Nellie Hetherington had seven saves for the win, while Blue Devils netminder Kaylyn Labonte had 15 stops. Mt. Ararat held a 20-9 shots advantage, while Lewiston finished with a 9-5 edge in penalty corners.

In KVAC action Tuesday at Kelley Field, Morse fell to the visiting Witches.

Asia DeRosby and Bronwyn Morissette moved the ball ahead for Morse, giving the hosts several opportunities in the circle.

Korallei Fifield, Marisabel Rodriguez and Lilah Parshley all had defensive saves while helping protect goalie Bryanna Ringrose, who had 18 saves.

Taylor Banister scored in the opening half off an assist from Claire Valley and Naomi Carlson scored (Morgan Forres) in the second period.

“Our offense and defense both gave 110 percent the entire game,” said Morse coach Stephenie Pinkham. “We may not have won, but overall we had a strong game and worked as a team until the end.”

The 1-11 Shipbuilders are scheduled to host Camden Hills on Thursday.
