RUMFORD — When LeAnne McNally was moved to a different position, she gave it her best shot.

The move proved beneficial to Mountain Valley in a girls’ soccer game Monday afternoon at Chet Bulger Field.

McNally, a senior midfielder, didn’t waste any time by scoring two goals in the first half en route to her four-goal performance. She also added an assist as the Falcons simply had too many weapons in 6-1 triumph against Boothbay.

Mountain Valley (5-3) also received a goal by Abby Mazza and a statement goal by Hannah Koch. The style of played was used to get the entire team involved in the game.

The Falcons immediately applied pressure on Boothbay’s defense. The initial tally began with Mazza controlling the ball in the right corner and dribbling in. She passed the ball over to McNally near the box, and  she booted it high into the left corner. Boothbay goalie Jamie Wheeler could not rotate over to stop the ball 8:40 into the game.

“The last two games I had been playing back. So entering this game I did not know what to expect,” McNally said. “My (objective) was to keep wide and direct the ball toward the middle in order to get my teammates involved.”

Each team generated scoring opportunities over the next 16 minutes.

The Falcons’ defense consistently cleared the offensive zone, led by Kayla Sinclair, Victoria Ryerson, Sydney Petrie and Jordyn Turner. Boothbay’s Angie Perkins and Lisa Pawlowski shots reached the crease, but Falcon senior goalie Karen Flaherty (eight saves) cradled the ball. Falcon assistant coach Peter Koch recognized that Boothbay’s defense was slow getting back, so once the ball went over the top, the Falcons waded through.

“At this point, we need every win,” Mountain Valley coach Lynn Gould said. ”We were ranked 13th in Heals and cradled the ball. Boothbay (3-5-1) was worth a few points, ‘We have the toughest part of our schedule remaining, including (rival) Dirigo (Thursday), Lisbon, Madison and Oak Hill, again.”

McNally notched what proved to be the eventual game-winning goal, when she intercepted an attempted clearing, dribbled in five feet and booted the ball past Wheeler’s short side with 15:17 remaining in the first half.

”We need to keep things going like we have been,” McNally said. “The mindset entering game was to continue playing (aggressive) because we have players out (injured Ashley Russell) or having to come back from injuries.”

Two minutes in to the second half, Hannah Koch, who utilizes a sommersault throw-in, drilled a ball in to the upper right corner of the net.

The Seahawks’ Ella Spear scored her first-ever goal. But the Falcons’ Keli Trenoweth hit the cross bar. Mazza sandwiched two goals around McNally to close out the scoring.
