EAGLES WIN THIRD NAC CHAMPIONSHIP


WOW!  Husson won it's third straight North Atlantic Conference Championship with a 2-1 victory over University of Maine Farmington.  The first half was a well contested 0-0 tie, but the Eagles came out in the second determined to make a difference. One minute into the second period Shelby Bradford (#21 Lee, ME) received a throw in, beat a defender and slid a shot under the diving keeper and inside the right post. A minute later Katie Nickerson appered to put the Eagles ahead 2-0 only to have the goal waived off by an offsides call.  No worries..... Bradford scored her second goal of the day with a post-up turn and right footed shot off a Samantha Homer (#9 Charlton, MA) assist.  That ended up being all Husson needed.  Farmington's  Amber Murphy scored their only goal with two minutes left in the game.  Husson's Keeper Tatayana Wolterbeek (#18 Wells, ME) finished with 3 saves on 7 shots, while UMF's McKell Barnes had 9 saves on 21 shots.
