Headlines: Hearts of Pine Win Inaugural Game

PPH: 

Woo hoo indeed.Those words blared from the speakers after Nathan Messer’s blistering free kick into the top-right corner of the goal put a capper on the Portland Hearts of Pine’s 4-0 U.S. Open Cup victory over amateur side CD Faialense of Cambridge, Mass. on Thursday in Lewiston. It fit Messer’s goal, which drew woos of appreciation from the estimated crowd of 3,200. Even more, Blur’s celebratory anthem fit the festive feel of the first professional soccer game played in Maine by the state’s newest pro franchise.
