Drinkwater, Carson and Surette Score as Southern Maine Defeats Saint Joseph’s 3-1

STANDISH, Maine – Sophomore Sage Drinkwater (Steep Falls, Maine/Buxton) scored seven minutes into the first quarter, and junior Brooke Carson (Bryant Pond, Maine/Oxford Hills) and sophomore Adelle Surette (Sabattus, Maine/Oak Hill) each scored in the third quarter to lead the University of Southern Maine Huskies to a 3-1 win over the Saint Joseph's College Monks in a non-conference field hockey game Tuesday evening at SJC Athletics Complex.
 
The Huskies' win over the Monks is the first since a 1-0 victory in 2017.  Southern Maine leads the 25-game series between the two schools 17-8. 
 
The Records:
Southern Maine (4-3)
Saint Joseph's (5-2)
 
How It Happened:
  • Southern Maine pressured early putting a pair of shots on frame in the opening minutes only to be stymied by SJC goalkeeper Kassidy Collins before Drinkwater broke through for her team-leading fifth goal of the season. Drinkwater completed an assist from junior Mary Keef (Westbrook, Maine) to notch her second game-winning goal of the season.
  • The Huskies' 1-0 lead stood through the first half, but was quickly doubled by Carson in less than 30 seconds into the third quarter with an unassisted goal. Carson's first goal of 2022 makes her the 10th USM player to register a goal this season.
  • Surette's late goal in the third bookended the quarter giving USM a 3-0 cushion heading into the fourth. Husky senior Samantha Ellis (New Vineyard, Maine/Mt. Blue) assisted on the play to give Surette her second goal of the season. 
  • SJC broke up the shutout in the fourth when Maya Waryas scored an unassisted goal in the 53rd minute, but the Monks were unable to put another past Husky senior goalkeeper Julianna Kiklis (York, Maine). 
  • The Huskies threatened for more goals in the fourth, but Collins made four of her game-high 11 saves in the final seven minutes of the game to keep the game at 3-1.
 
The Goalkeepers:
SM, Julianna Kiklis (3-2), 60:00, 1 GA, 3 saves
SJC, Kassidy Collins (5-2), 60:00, 3 GA, 11 saves
 
Inside The Statistics:
  • With 16 goals and five assists through 29 career games, Drinkwater is now 29th in career points (37).
  • Ellis now has 76 career points in 75 career games, and remains eighth all-time.  She has 30 goals and 16 assists in her career thus far.
 
Up Next:
Southern Maine remains on the road and will travel to Husson University on Thursday (7:00 pm) for a non-conference game.  The Huskies are back in Little East Conference action and back home at Hannaford Field against Bridgewater State on Saturday (12:00 pm).
