WINDHAM—The Eagles put together a standout run this spring, finishing their regular schedule at 11-1, but it all came crashing to a halt when they welcome Falmouth for a tournament semifinal on Saturday afternoon, Jun 8. The Yachtsmen jumped out early on Windham, scoring the first five goals en route to a 16-5 result.
Travis Brown tallied two for the Eagles in the loss. He notched the first on an assist by Matty Babb with 4:30 to play in the opening quarter, and the second on an assist by Ty Woolston with mere seconds remaining in the third quarter. Those valiant efforts, though, only bumped the score to 11-2, Falmouth.
Windham had better luck penetrating the Yachtsmen defense and beating their keeper in the fourth quarter, when Tommy Lekousi, Woolston and Liam McCusker all added goals. But in the end, the Eagles found themselves simply overpowered on the day.
Windham entered the playoffs ranked first in A North, while the Yachtsmen entered ranked fifth; the former retires till 2020 at 11-2, while the latter move on to the Regional Finals vs. No. 2 Portland.
