The Ashland and Presque Isle girls remain the region’s lone unbeaten soccer teams.
The Hornet girls strung together three consecutive shutout victories last week, all played at home, to continue their undefeated season.
Coach Peter Belskis’s team is now 10-0 with four matches remaining. The Hornets’ final home game is Monday against the Wisdom Pioneers beginning at 4 p.m. Ashland has now outscored its opponents by a margin of 73-9.
Last Tuesday, Ashland blanked Van Buren, 6-0, with Savannah Flint recording a hat trick, freshman Morgan Doughty scoring two goals and Marissa Chasse netting her team’s other goal.
On Thursday, the Hornets garnered a 9-0 victory over Katahdin. Chasse became Ashland’s all-time leading goal scorer by scoring three times to reach 60 overall. She overtook Brooke LaBelle, who netted 58 goals while playing from 2009-12.
MacKenzie Carter and Flint added two goals each and Laura Sturgeon and Caitlin Paradis had one each.
The Hornets were 11-0 winners Monday over Southern Aroostook. Carter had three goals and two assists and Chasse and Flint netted two goals each. Paradis, Doughty, Micayla Driscoll and Chelsea Vaillancourt also contributed goals in the lopsided victory.
Megan Cote recorded her first three shutouts of the season in goal for Ashland.
Also still perfect are the Presque Isle Wildcat girls, who bested Ellsworth and Old Town in recent road matches.
PI took an 8-0 record into this afternoon’s match at Hermon. When the two teams met in Presque Isle Sept. 6, the Wildcats picked up a 4-1 triumph. The Wildcats will be home Saturday against Foxcroft Academy.
Last Wednesday, Jillian Flynn collected her first shutout of the season, making 13 saves en route to a 4-0 win at Ellsworth. Scoring goals for PI were Jordi Legassie, Tori Koch, Olivia Hudson and Macy Desmond.
On Saturday, Old Town was the host and PI managed a 2-1 win as Krystal Kingsbury scored off a Megan Seward header late in the game for the tie-breaking goal.
Legassie had put PI in front by scoring off a Taylor Williams assist in the first half, but the Coyotes tied it early in the second on Lauren Martin’s goal.
