Aubrey Oulette Saving Yet Another Seacoast Shot The U-15s took to the field in the NH State Cup Finals on June 1 against Seacoast United -- a team they have met twice this spring each time resulting in a 0-0 draw. This time no draws would be allowed. The girls started the game tentatively and the talented Seacoast attack brought persistent and dangerous pressure on the COE final 18. Aubrey Oulette's first half heroics in the goal kept the game from slipping away under the onslaught. Aubrey was nothing short of brilliant and despite several well finished shots, she brought her teammates to half time only down one nil.
The second half was a different story entirely. The Wanderers came out with purpose and energy and carried the play to Seacoast as often as did Seacoast. The game swung back and forth with gritty and inspiring effort from the midfield and up top. The COE girls broke through on a gorgeous ball delivered into the box by Alyssa Cappetta. Amanda Roberts leapt up and forward and headed the ball past the Seacoast keeper to bring the score even. Both sides pressed hard for the winning goal and Seacoast managed the task in the final few minutes of the game to take the State Cup and send the Wanderers home.
