AUBURN – Lewiston and Edward Little appeared to be headed in opposite directions after their opening matches on Tuesday. Lewiston fell at home to Leavitt and looked to be on shaky ground, while Edward Little won convincingly over Oxford Hills.

What a difference a day makes.

Three Lewiston golfers shot 40 or better and all six varsity golfers broke 50 as the Blue Devils rebounded from a season-opening loss to upend the Red Eddies 7-2 at Martindale Country Club on Wednesday.

“For the kids to rebound like that today was big,” said Lewiston coach Don Jalbert. “Our team score against Leavitt wasn’t bad against Leavitt, really, but this was a feel-good win for us.”

The Lewiston win spoiled a stellar round of 37 by low medalist Nate Gould of Edward Little, who had a birdie and three bodies on his nine-hole round.

“I made like a 40-foot putt on the fifth hole for birdie,” said Gould. “Overall I am happy with the round. I was pretty sure that Danny (Cloutier, Lewiston’s No. 1 golfer) that he was going to come out and shoot a good score, so I knew I needed something like that to win.”

Cloutier did fire a 4-over-par 39 to lead all Lewiston golfers, and he helped the team to a 166-177 team medal win, despite losing to Gould by two shots.

“After yesterday’s round (he shot a 50), it was good to come back and shoot low today,” said Cloutier. “I had one bad score, a double-bogey on the third hole, but other than that I was pretty happy.”

Gould and EL No. 2 Kyle Bouffard came into the clubhouse with split scores, with Gould upending Cloutier and Bouffard falling to Lewiston’s No. 2 James Morin, 40-53. Lewiston’s Brandon Marcotte came in with another 40, followed by Evan Kordalski’s 49, both match wins over their respective opponents.

“At the top, we are very solid,” said Jalbert. “Even when we get to 4-5-6, if they play like they did today, we’ll be alright.”

Edward Little got its second point at the No. 5 position, where Charlie Orne shot 46, three better than Lewiston’s Kenny Roy.

“Golf is a stupid game sometimes,” said EL coach Bob Dulac. “You think you have it licked and then the next day it teaches you a lesson.”
