BATH — The Morse High School boys soccer team dominated the first half in the rain en route to a 3-1 Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference victory over Lincoln Academy on Tuesday at McMann Field.

The Shipbuilders (3-4-2) possessed the ball in the first half, leading to a 3-0 halftime lead. Lucas Ouimette finished off a cross from Sheamus Mann 3:10 into the game, and five minutes later Jack Komilov gained control of free kick from Alden Harkins to double the advantage.

Morse’s midfield, led by Christian Keenan and Mann, were the pace setters for the offensive engine. The wing play for Morse came from Gavin Hanna, Ouimette and Isaak Flaming.

“The tempo we played tonight was what I have envisioned for this team since these seniors were freshmen,” said Morse coach Chuck Reece. “We lost to LA in the first game (5-0) and I couldn’t be there. When I asked them what happened they all said it came down to effort. We also were missing some key players that game.”

Jacob Brochu, off a pass from Ouimette, gave Morse a three-goal lead at the break.

Lincoln Academy made it a two-goal game when Jorge Pulido-Fernandez scored off a pass from Nolan Michael with 12:30 remaining.

The Shipbuilder defense, led by senior captain Ethan Pascuzzo, was not giving up many easy looks. With junior captain Asa Hodgdon constantly balancing the pressure from Mann and Keenan, the Shipbuilders were pushing everything outside and frustrating normally dangerous Eagle Will Shaffer.

Morse goaltender Miles Bobbe made a solid stop on a breakaway by Shaffer, finishing with 10 saves.

Tiger Cummings turned away 14 shots for Lincoln Academy.
