LEWISTON, Maine – A three-goal second quarter led by two goals in quick succession from Grace Hoehl jumped-started the no. 20 ranked Bates College Bobcats offense en route to a decisive 7-1 win over the University of Southern Maine Huskies in a non-conference field hockey game Tuesday night at Bates' Campus Avenue Field.
