Dylan Barr Hat Trick Leads Southern Maine Over UMass Boston 5-1

NEWTON, Mass.  – Senior Dylan Barr (Phippsburg, Maine/Morse) notched a hat trick, scoring twice in the first half and once more in the second half, to lead the University of Southern Maine Huskies to a 5-1 win over the UMass Boston Beacons Tuesday afternoon at Alumni Field.
 
Recording the second multiple-goal game of her career, the Huskies' midfielder now has five goals and two assists in 2026 for a career-best 12 points. Barr had two goals in a 9-0 win over UMaine Farmington during the 2023 season as a freshman and scored a previous career-best four goals in that season.
 
Sophomores Allie Flagg (Brewer, Maine) and Maddie Niles (Benton, Maine/Lawrence) also had goals for the Huskies with assist from freshman Abigail Labonte (Lewiston, Maine/Monmouth Academy) and senior Bri Townsend (Newport, Maine/Nokomis) respectively.
