How It Happened:

• Gould and graduate student Ciera Berthiaume (Windham, Maine) each scored a goal before 10 minutes expired in the game to quickly put USM up 2-0 over MMA.  Gould's team-leading 15^th goal of the season came off of a well-played ball in from graduate student Gaby Panagakos (Scarborough, Maine) while Berthiaume's goal was unassisted after a strong play into the box by the forward.
• Sophomore Julia McKenna (Windham, Maine) scored the first of her three goals in the game in the 33^rd minute to give USM a 3-0 lead headed into the half.  McKenna and freshman Ciera Hill (Pembroke, N.H.) worked the give-and-go in the box for the score.
• McKenna made it 4-0 less than a minute into the second half, touching the ball into the back of the net after a dangerous centering pass from Gould.  Gould followed with her second goal of the game after being sprung free into the 18 on a lead pass from Hill in the 55^th.
• Up 5-0, McKenna was fouled just outside of the 18 on a break, and then capitalized on the awarded free kick, placing it into the upper left corner for the hattrick in the 63^rd.
• Senior Katie Lynch (Bellingham, Mass./Mount Saint Charles) found the back of the net for her first goal of the season in the 85^th for the 7-0 final, and record setting goal. She was assisted on the play by freshman Kadynne Gratello-Smith (Biddeford, Maine).

Inside The Stats:

• Gould's 16 goals so far in 2022 takes the single-season goals record from Liz Brunton (2004-2005) who scored 14 in 2005. With 16 goals and six assists for 38 points also establishes a single-season record for points in a season, previously held by Brunton (14-5-33) and graduate student Ciera Berthiaume (Windham, Maine) (13-7-33). 
• Atwood's 10^th shutout gives her sole possession of the Huskies' single-season shutout record.  Atwood surpassed the previous record (9) for shutouts in a season held Jennifer Poliquin (1993-1998) and Taylor Canastra (2015-2018). Poliquin had nine shutouts in 1996, while Canastra had nine in 2018.  The Huskies' record for shutouts in a career is 19, and is also held by 2022 Husky Hall of Fame inductee Samantha Whitman '01 (1997-2000). Atwood has 14 shutouts to her credit in 30 career games.
• Berthiaume's goal in today's game is her fourth of the season and the 40^th of her career.  The Huskies' all-time leader in career goals and career points, Berthiaume has 97 points (40-17-97).
