HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • Earning the third penalty corner of the first quarter, Niles hit a driven ball on a pass from Thibodeau in the 10th minute for a 1-0 Husky lead.  The Huskies outshot UMD 5-0 in the quarter and had four penalty corners. 
  • Senior Dylan Barr (Phippsburg, Maine/Morse) made it 2-0 with her second goal of the season on a strong individual effort in the 18th minute to give Southern Maine a 2-0 lead headed into the break.
  • Senior Bri Townsend (Newport, Maine/Nokomis) and sophomore Mackenzie Hall (Westbrook, Maine) each scored in the third quarter to ballon the Huskies lead to 4-0.  Scoring on a penalty stroke, Townsend's goal in the 34th minute marked her sixth goal of the season, tying her for USM's lead with Niles.
  • Hall's goal, her third goal of 2026, came in the 42nd minute.  Thibodeau's initial bid on a corner insertion was rocketed towards net and turned aside on the pads from UMD goalkeeper Morgan Carr.  Collecting the rebound, Hall adeptly shot to the near post for the score.
  • USM junior Julia Elie (Dayton, Maine/Thornton Academy) made it a 5-0 game in the 54th minute.  Elie scored on the Huskies' third penalty shot awarded in the game, hitting to the lower left corner past an outstretched save bid from Carr.
