The Husson softball team closed out their regular season with a North Atlantic Conference doubleheader on the road at UMaine-Farmington on Saturday.

In game two- Husson trailed for most of the contest, but came through with three runs in both the sixth and seventh innings to complete the sweep 6-1. Kiara McLeod (Oxford Hills) had the game winning two-run single in the sixth. Julia Gregiore (Massabesic) had three hits for the Eagles, and Ana Lang (Searsport) improved her pitching record to 7-4 by throwing a complete game giving up one run on six hits with no walks and 10 strikeouts. Jojo Daigneault had two hits for UMaine-Farmington, and Melissa Mayo (Lake Region) fell to 3-7 by taking the loss in the circle allowing three runs on four hits with three walks in 5.1 innings. The Beavers end the regular season with a record of 14-16 and 4-4 in the North Atlantic Conference.
