GORHAM, Maine  –  Lucy Carrel recorded a hat trick and the No. 14 Williams College Ephs defeated the University of Southern Maine Huskies 4-1 in a non-conference women's soccer game Sunday afternoon at Hannaford Field.
 
Huskies' sophomore Natalie Flageolle (Broomfield, Colo./Legacy) put the Huskies on the board in the 85^th minute converting a penalty kick.  Flageolle's goal is the first for the Huskies against Williams in their three meetings. 
 
The Records:
No. 13 Williams (6-1-1)
Southern Maine (4-7-1)
 
Today's game marked third meeting between Southern Maine and Williams College.  Williams leads the series 1-0-1. Both teams battled to a 0-0 draw in 2024 at Wiliams, and in 2022 the Huskies faced Williams for the first time in the NCAA tournament, dropping a 1-0 decision to the Ephs.
 
How It Happened:

• Carrel struck for the first of her three goals in the game in the 12^th minute, taking a one-time volley out of the air on a corner kick for the 1-0 lead.
• Olivia Bevilacqua made it 2-0 in the 35^th tapping in an assist from Brianna Wright before Carrel made it 3-0 in the 47^th collecting her own rebound and knocking the ball home.
• Carrel completed the hat trick with a far-post run to score on a nicely placed cross from Isabel Konijnenberg from the right side.
• The Huskies generated more of their offense in the second half, and were able to draw the penalty after some strong build up play from the back.  A dangerous ball sent into the box from senior Britney Hill (Pembroke, NH/Pembroke Academy) led to a Williams' handball and the penalty.  Flageolle's goal is her second of the season.

SM: Halle Brown (1-4-1), 90:00, 4 GA, 6 Saves
