The Husson women’s soccer team secured a second place finish in the North Atlantic Conference on Wednesday night, as they jumped over Maine Maritime Academy in the final standings with a 2-0 victory over the Mariners in the regular season finale at Boucher Field in Bangor.
The Eagles dominated, outshooting the Mariners 21-3 (9-2 on goal) and also having an 8-0 advantage in corner kick opportunities. Olivia Charles scored the game winner in the 33rd minute off an assist from Rylee Speed (Central). They added some insurance in the 55th minute after Speed hit one off the crossbar, as Paige Dunn set up Ella Hosford (Bucksport) for a goal. Mayako Brown (Hampden Academy) and Cora Brewster (Buckfield) combined to makes seven saves for Maine Maritime Academy, who suffers their first league loss and winds up as the #3 seed at 9-6-1 and 5-1-1 in the NAC. Gabriella Smith (Biddeford) secured her fourth shutout of the year with two saves, as Husson finishes the regular season 8-5-2 and 6-1-0 in the conference. The North Atlantic Conference will release the full playoff schedule later this week, and that will be posted here on this page.
