Everett Horch tallied three goals to lift the Brunswick High School boys soccer team to a 4-0 Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference win over Skowhegan on Monday.
The win gave the Dragons a regular-season mark of 5-6- 3. Brunswick won its final two games, out-scoring Cony and Skowhegan by a combined 12-0 mark. Brunswick will likely open the Class A North postseason with a home preliminary contest later this week. Brunswick appears headed for a matchup with 10th-seeded Hampden Academy.
Horch gave Brunswick a 1- 0 halftime lead, and his goal early in the second half doubled the advantage. Henry Doherty added a goal for a 3- 0 Dragons lead, and Horch finished off his hat trick to complete the scoring.
MT. BLUE 0
MT. ARARAT 3
Kyle Brown scored twice in the second half, allowing the host Eagles to pull away for a KVAC win over feisty Mt. Blue.
Mt. Ararat finished the regular season with a 12-2 mark and appears to be the No. 3 seed in the Class A North postseason. If the Heal Point Standings hold, the Eagles will face No. 6 Camden Hills in the quarterfinals at home.
Maximo Varela scored in the first half for a 1-0 lead. Brown made it 2-0 off a Jacob Sturgess setup, and Travis Nadeau assisted on Brown’s second goal with 29:25 remaining.
Elliot Bowie had four saves for the win, with Mt. Blue keeper Tucker Carleton making nine stops.

SKOWHEGAN — Maeve Arthur tallied a pair of goals to lead Brunswick to a 4-0 KVAC win over Skowhegan in a regular-season finale.
The Dragons will enter the postseason riding a six-game winning streak and an 11-3 record.

Kira Wolpow and Sachs added a goal each in the win, with Banks, Wolpow, Guptil and Emily Larochelle earning one assist each.
In goal, Beth Labbe had six saves for the shutout, while Skowhegan netminder Sydney Reed also turned away six shots.
Brunswick will await the final standings to determine its quarterfinal opponent next week.
