GRAY — Jack Martell converted a penalty kick early in the second half to snap a scoreless tie, and his brother, Ian, added a needed insurance marker late on an assist from Tyler Holmquist to lift Gray-New Gloucester to a 2-1 win over previously unbeaten Cape Elizabeth in Western Maine Conference boys’ soccer action Thursday.

After Ian Martell’s goal put the Patriots (6-4-0) on top by two with 2:40 to play in regulation, Tim Takach pulled the Capers (7-1-1) within a goal with less than a minute to play.

Gray-New Gloucester keeper Ryan Cavallaro stopped seven Cape shots to record the win. Nick Breed, his counterpart on the other end of the field, turned aside six in the loss.

CAPE ELIZABETH — Gray-New Gloucester overcame an early deficit with goals from Taylor Darnell and Julia Martell, only to knock the ball into its own cage with less than six minutes to play as the Patriots settled for a 2-2 draw with Cape Elizabeth in WMC girls’ soccer action Thursday.

Gray-NG keeper Sammie Wilkins was solid, stopping 14 shots to preserve the tie. Cape keeper Alexandra Weatherbie finished with nine saves.
