HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • Tuplin started the scoring for the Huskies late in the first quarter giving Southern Maine a 1-0 lead in the 13th minute. The lead was short-lived however as the Beavers bounced right back to tied the game up at 1-1 in the 14th minute on a goal from Gabby Vincentsen.  Vincentsen knocked the ball out of the air on an assist from Zoey Pennell for the equalizer.
  • Both teams were scoreless in the second quarter heading into the halftime break at 1-1.  The Huskies outshot the Beavers 4-1 in the quarter and had a 2-0 lead in penalty corners, but UMF keeper Ella Grant was up to the task keeping her team even.
  • Southern Maine found its scoring rhythm in the third as Tuplin and Townsend combined for a pair of goals.  Tuplin banged in the first goal of the third in the 34th minute on a feed from Townsend, and minutes later Townsend scored her own for a 4-1 lead in the 35th.  Townsend benefitted from an outstanding lead pass into the circle from Tuplin for the goal.
  • Townsend made it 4-1 in the 53rd on a penalty corner.  Receiving a well-paced ball from inserter senior Jaigan Boudreau (Dayton, Maine/Thornton Academy), Townsend hit a lofted ball to the upper far post past and outstretched stick of Grant.
 
 
INSIDE THE STATS:
  • USM outshot the Beavers 24-4 in the game and had an 11-1 lead in penalty corners.
