How It Happened:

  • The Huskies took a 2-0 lead into the break, when junior Hanna Banks (Belfast, Maine/Belfast Area) collected her own rebound and scored her second goal of the season in the 23rd minute.
  • Carson scored her first goal of the game and her second of the season in the 35th minute to put USM up 3-0 over the Bears redirecting a pass from Drinkwater. 
  • Minutes later, sophomore Abigail Chartier (Lewiston, Maine) scored on a backhand attempt in the 40th minute for a 4-0 USM lead.  Carson closed out the scoring in the 42nd finishing an assist from junior Chloe Arsenault (Boothbay, Maine/Boothbay Region).
  • Bridgewater State's Zoe Bergeron broke up the shut out in the 48th minute with her second goal of the season.  Sophia Morse centered a ball across the goal to a wide-open Bergeron who slotted the ball to the near post.
