MDI Girls Soccer Lose to Waterville 3-2 in Class B Northern Maine Semi-finals

The MDI Girls Soccer Team's season came to an end on Saturday night, November 2nd, when the Trojans, the 3rd seed, lost to the 2nd seed Waterville Panthers at Thomas College, 3-2 in overtime.

The Trojans scored 1st with 16:45 remaining in the 1st Half, when Daisy Granholm's shot hit the underside of the crossbar, going over the goal line, from a Lelia Weir feed.

Just over 5 minutes later, at the 11:26 mark, Grannolm got behind Waterville's back line setting up a perfect pass to Zoe Olson who buried the ball in the net, to give the Trojans a 2-0 lead at the end of the 1st Half.

With 8 minutes elapsed in the 2nd Half, Danica Serdjenian collected the rebound off of her own shot, to put Waterville on the scoreboard, 2-1.

With 11:18 remaining in regulation, Sadie Garling scored off of her own rebound, to send the game into overtime 2-2.

With 3:38 remaining in overtime, Paige St. Pierre scored the golden goal, ending the game, giving Waterville the win, where they will play the undefeated Hermon Hawks at Hampden Academy on Wednesday, November 6th for the Northern Maine Class B Championships.

According to Coach Dow

This was a very competitive game for both teams and a tough loss for us, but I am extremely proud of this team and how they carried themselves, not only in tonight's tough loss, but throughout the whole season. They always have each other's back and play as a team. The girls played a hard fought game tonight and played a great game against a very good team that hadn't allowed more than 2 goals scored against them in regulation this season. According to Central Maine, MDI became the 1st team to score on Waterville in 5 games dating back to October 8th and the 1st team to crack the Panthers twice in regulation time this season. Only Maranacook which needed OT in a win over the Panthers in the 3rd game of the season back on September 13th, previously scored more than once on Waterville this fall.

Granholm finished with 47 goals on the season, which is a Hancock County girls single season record
