GORHAM, Maine   –  Maddie Perkins scored twice to lead the Husson University Eagles to a 4-1 win over the University of Southern Maine Huskies in a non-conference field hockey game Saturday afternoon at Hannaford Field.

HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • Perkins scored less than a minute into the game to give the Eagles an early advantage.  She made it 2-0 before time expired in the first quarter, notching her fourth goal of the season in the 11th minute. 
  • The Huskies had an opportunity to trim the lead to 2-1 in the 18th minute as senior Jaigan Boudreau (Dayton, Maine/Thornton Academy) stepped to the spot to take a penalty shot, but her low drive shot to the left of the cage was parried away by Duchette with a leg.
  • Averi Baker scored early in the second quarter, scoring her first goal of the season to put Husson ahead 3-0 before Southern Maine took one back to close out the half.  Junior Bri Townsend (Newport, Maine/Nokomis) knocked in her second goal of 2025 after a feed from junior HJ Tuplin (Lisbon, Maine) with less than eight seconds until the halftime buzzer.
  • Husson freshman Isabel Folsom (Winthrop, Maine) tallied the final goal of the game in the 48th minute completing the assist from Baker for her first goal of the season.
