WINNING THE BALL: Mt. Blue’s Hannah Allen (green shoes) collects a loose ball in the midfield, while teammate Chelsea Thompson looks on. The Cougars shutout Maranacook, 1-0, Thursday afternoon in a preseason scrimmage at home.
It’s great to see the girls’ teams get a little attention in the media. Of course, I’m prejudiced, my granddaughter wears #5 for Maranacook. I was at the game and thought the teams were well matched. The winning goal came from a “penalty shot.” Sorry if that’s the wrong term, 50 years of Bruins hockey…
The last time these girls met, it was summer league play on a UMF field and Mt. Blue outplayed the Maranacook team, not so this time.
Thanks again.
