Leavitt vs. Morse, Sept. 18 (at Morse), Oct. 11 (at Leavitt): The squads split the 2024 season series and both games were decided by one goal. The Hornets narrowly missed out on last year’s B South playoffs, and at least one win over the Shipbuilders could help their chances this fall.

Buckfield vs. Temple, Oct. 18 in Augusta: The Bucks, last year’s Class D runners-up, should still be competitive in 8-person soccer. This regular-season finale against the Bereans could heavily impact playoff seeding for both teams.

Lewiston at Edward Little, Oct. 20: The Battle of the Bridge is always passionate, but this regular-season finale will include former St. Dom’s players to both sides of the rivalry.
