Colby Defeats Huskies 3-2

Southern Maine Ends 14-Game Home Win Streak

GORHAM, Maine  –  Abigail Jarvi had a goal and an assist as the Colby College Mules defeated the University of Southern Maine Huskies 3-2 in a non-conference women's soccer game Wednesday night at Hannaford Field.
 
The Records:
Colby College (3-0-0)
Southern Maine (3-1-0)
 
Today's game marks the 34th meeting between the University of Southern Maine and the Colby College Mules. Colby leads the overall series 29-5.  Prior to the 2-1 Huskies win over the Mules in 2023, USM had last won against the Mules on October 15, 2008, defeating Colby 2-1 in overtime.
 
 
How It Happened:
  • The Huskies took the lead early when junior Riley Reitchel (Palermo, Maine/Erskine Academy) scored her fourth goal of the season in the fifth minute. The Huskies used a high press to turn the ball over in Colby's defensive third and Reitchel capitalized hitting the ball into the high far post corner.
  • Colby came back to equalize in the 14th minute when Sophie Degrande notched her third goal of the season turning and hitting a ball to the far post after receiving the ball in the box from Avery Barton. The game stood at 1-1 through the half.
  • Colby took a 2-1 lead in the 52nd minute on a goal from Jarvi, and then led 3-2 after Ella Caraluzzi finished a through ball from Jarvi in the 69th minute.
  • The Huskies pulled back a goal in the 80th minute to make it 3-2 when freshman Makyla Magid (Golden, Colo./Lakewood) hustled her way to a loose ball in the box and knocked it in for her third goal of the season.
