Chloe Walton and Poppy Lambert both scored second half goals, and Mia Borley recorded another shutout in net on Friday afternoon as the Maine Black Bears blanked the Vermont Catamounts 2-0 at the Maine Field Hockey Complex in Orono in America East Field Hockey action.
Walton scored her second of the season and the game winner unassisted 1:54 into the third quarter after a scoreless first half. The freshman Lambert added insurance with her third of the year with 3:46 left in the game. Borley stopped all five shots in the cage, as Maine improves to 3-2, 3-0 in America East Conference play. The shutout was the 12th of her career, and 10th in conference play. The record for career America East shutouts is 11 set by Danille Butsch of Northeastern in the late 1990s. Vermont falls to 0-5, 0-3 in AE.
The Black Bears will host UNH on Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m.
