Falmouth opens SMAA play with loss at Westbrook

WESTBROOK—Falmouth’s field hockey team got a not-so-hospitable welcome to the Southwestern Maine Activities Association Wednesday afternoon at Westbrook in the opener of the 2017 season.

In fact, the Yachtsmen got pushed into a corner.

Again and again and again.

After fending off multiple Blue Blazes penalty corners in the game’s opening moments, Falmouth fell behind 1-0 11 minutes in when Westbrook sophomore Mary Keef scored on a rebound.

Westbrook gets off to fast start
The Blue Blazes, expected to be a top contender in Class A South, spoil Falmouth's SMAA debut with a 4-1 win.

...After a goal by Morgan LeBeau gave the Blue Blazes a 2-0 lead, Keef delivered a sharp pass to set up a goal by Alexis Witham that made it 3-0 lead with 2:08 left in the first half.

“We have a lot of our starters coming back (from last season), so it was great that they came out and set the tone right from the beginning,” said Westbrook Coach Theresa Hendrix, whose team was 11-3-1 last year.

Westbrook dominated play in the first half, spending the majority of time on attack. The Blue Blazes earned 17 penalty corners compared to just two for the Yachtsmen in the first half.
