Girls Soccer - Penquis 7 Hodgdon 6- September 6th, 2024
The Penquis girls began their Northern Maine title defense on the road at Hodgdon. Half way through the first, Penquis found themselves trailing 3-0. Not long after, Violet Chai broke down the wing and crossed it in the box for Lauren Veino to tap it in the back side. Veino would add another a couple minutes later to bring Penquis within one. Hodgdon would then add another to go up 4-2, but soon committed a foul in the box and Chai placed the ball in the corner to bring the Patriots back within one going into the half. Penquis made the correct adjustments at half and Chai buried the equalizer a few minutes into the second half. Venio would then complete the hat trick 5 minutes later, before getting her fourth goal of the game redirecting an Ashley Ladd free kick from just outside the 18. Venio would then tap in her fifth goal of the game to put the Patriots at 7, and Penquis would survive a late onslaught from the Hawks to hold onto the 7-6 victory and begin the year 1-0 and next face Penobscot Christian on Monday for the home opener.

Lady Howlers earn third straight shutout
At Guilford on Monday, the PVHS Lady Howlers had five different players in the scoring column as they defeated PCHS 8-0.
Rylee Moulton struck first, just 72 seconds into the game when she took a Tiana Grant pass and fired a shot into the lower left corner of the net. Moulton scored again halfway through the first half, as she received a ball from Lila Cummings, went one on one with goalkeeper Braylin Beckwith and buried it into the lower right corner. The third and final goal of the first frame came from Cummings, as she crushed a low liner in the corner off a Charlotte Brochu assist.
In the second half, the Lady Howlers would score four goals in a six and a half minute span starting around the 33 minute mark. Brochu once again found Cummings just past midfield, and after a few moves past defenders Cummings drilled a low shot into the right corner. 40 seconds later, Cummings led a breakaway pass to Moulton who scored and recorded her second hat trick of the year. The next goal started with a free kick sailing to Addy Lyons in the box, who got a foot on the ball and sent it airborne toward the post where freshman Abby Castonguay headed it in. Freshman Kaylee Woodman got her first varsity goal when her own shot deflected off a post and bounced back toward her, and she calmly put it past the keeper. At around the 10-minute mark, Brochu sent a long pass past the PCHS back line to Allie LeBlanc, who kicked the ball by Beckwith to end the game.
Penobscot Valley improved to 5-2 on the year, and recorded their third straight shutout. Moulton finished with three goals, Cummings had two goals and two assists, and Brochu had three assists from the midfield. Brooklynn Raymond stopped all four shots she saw. The Lady Howlers will host Central Wednesday evening at 6:00.
Beckwith saved 9 of 24 shots for the 0-8 Lady Pirates, who will host Foxcroft Academy on Wednesday.
PVHS avenges earlier season loss in victory over Central
When the Penobscot Valley girls soccer team traveled to East Corinth two weeks ago, they left the field on the wrong side of a 1-0 score in a rare shutout loss courtesy of a Mary Allen penalty kick. In Howland Wednesday evening under the lights, the offense was clicking as they beat the Lady Red Devils 6-0.
As she often does, junior Rylee Moulton got the scoring started early. At around the five minute mark, she took a pass from Tiana Grant, went left to right along the top of the 18 yard line and buried a low shot in the left corner of the net. 10 minutes later she struck again, with a pass from Kaylee Woodman at the midfield line. Moulton made a couple of quick moves, then jolted ahead of the defenders toward the net sending another shot in the lower left corner. Lila Cummings would score the third goal, as she made a beautiful cut-back move to create separation and drilled a high shot under the crossbar for the score.
Ten minutes into the second half, Cummings struck again as her low bending corner kick wasn't able to be corralled by the keeper and snuck into the goal. Moulton would complete the hat trick as she used pure determination to track down a deflected ball, escape the last defender and outcoming keeper and send the ball into the open net. For good measure she added one more, this time volleying a bouncing ball with her opposite foot over the goalie and in for the goal. It was the third game for Moulton of three goals or more in the past four games.
With the win the Lady Howlers improved to 6-2 and will travel to Lincoln to face Mattanawcook Academy on Friday. Brooklynn Raymond saved 9 of 15 shots, and she and the defense recorded their fourth straight shutout.
Central keeper Shiloh Graham stopped 8 of 17 shots for her team, and the Red Devils (6-5) will host Bucksport next Tuesday.
