Turner scores twice in the second half, as Maine women’s soccer rallies past Army

Junior Aja Turner scored two second half goals on Thursday night, as the Maine women’s soccer team rallied past Army 2-1 in non-conference action at the New Balance Soccer Complex in Orono.

The Black Knights (2-5) tallied early just over 90 seconds into the contest, as Sabrina Rogers found the back of the net on a free kick. The Black Bears kept pushing and finally found the equalizer when Turner buried a rebound of a Hannah Wehmeyer shot in the 66th minute. It was the first career goal for Turner. She buried another rebound of a Wehmeyer shot in the 75th minute for the game winner. Elena Barenberg (four saves) made a huge stop in the 88th minute to preserve the lead and the victory. Maine (2-3-1) travels to Rhode Island next Thursday night at 6 p.m. to take on the Providence College Friars.
