Freshman Alliyah Veilleux was one of five Winslow players to score, finishing with two goals and two assists as the Black Raiders won the Eastern B title for the fifth time in six seasons.
No. 2 Winslow (17-0-0) advanced to the Class B state championship game to face Western Maine champion York (15-2-0) on Saturday at a site to be determined.
No. 5 Caribou (11-5-1), which defeated No. 4 Gardiner and No. 1 Presque Isle on the road during the tournament, appeared to be in control when it scored five minutes into the game. Paige Small played a long free kick into the penalty area where the ball eluded the Winslow defense. Abby Small gathered the ball on the left side and gave the Vikings the quick lead.
Gradually, the game started to turn in Winslow's favor as the Black Raiders began to gain confidence in their passing game and quickness on the field. Winslow had three strong first half chances -- it hit the crossbar twice and Jordyn Mallett hit an angled shot just wide from 20 yards out.
Constant pressure worked in Winslow's favor when Veilleux beat Caribou keeper Brittany Doak, sending the ball across the box to an open Kaylee Constable for the equalizer with four minutes left in the half.
Eastern A
Brunswick 3, Waterville 2, 2OT: Brunswick High School junior Alison Walton lined up the corner and lofted the ball toward the back post of the Waterville goal.
"I saw the ball come toward me and I knew I had to get this one," Brunswick midfielder Hilary Champagne said. "I had to get it done. No one wanted to go to penalty kicks. We wanted to end it right there."
Champagne did just that, heading the ball past Waterville keeper Cara Rousseau with 3 minutes, 29 seconds left in double overtime to give Brunswick a thrilling victory in the Eastern A championship game before about 500 fans.
"It was just a perfectly placed corner kick," said Champagne, who scored all three Brunswick goals. "It was just perfect."
Waterville coach Ian Wilson said Champagne was tough to defend on the play.
"They had a big, tall girl on the back post and she headed it in," he said. "What can you do?"
