Reitchel Scores 24th Career Goal; Brown Sets Career High with 11 Saves

DURHAM, N.H.  –  After trailing 1-0 through the first half, the University of New Hampshire Wildcats posted four second-half goals to defeat the University of Southern Maine Huskies 4-1 in a non-conference women's soccer game Sunday afternoon at Wildcat Stadium. 
 
Senior Riley Reitchel (Palermo, Maine/Erskine Academy) scored her second goal in as many games to give the Huskies the unlikely 1-0 lead in the first half.  Reitchel hit a shot to the lower right corner of the net to complete the assist from senior Cierra Hill (Pembroke, NH/Pembroke Academy) in the 14th minute.
