WATERVILLE, ME—A tip-in by Nick Perras (Sr., Lancaster, NH) as time expired gave Husson the slightest edge over University of Maine at Farmington in the second North Atlantic Conference Semifinal game played at Thomas College's Larry Mahaney Gymnasium.

The game was contested closely throughout with the largest lead being the Beavers' eight point advantage they gained after jumping out to a 10-2 early lead. The Eagles would answer back quickly, however and then teams would continue to battle back and forth throughout the night. The game would feature nine ties and nine lead changes.

Husson University's scoring attack was very balanced, with two players scoring double figures and three finishing the game with nine points. Matt Mackenzie (Jr., Warren, ME) led the way with his 19, while Perras was able to toss in 15 points in the victory. Blaine Meehan (Sr., Winterport, ME), Brock Bradford (Jr., Kenduskeag, ME), and Scott Kissinger (Sr., Islip Terrace, NY) each contributed nine points on the night.

The Beavers were led by Eric Taylor (So., Oakland, ME), who scored 22 points, including the team's first eight, while also ripping down 10 rebounds in the contest. Eric Lelansky (Jr., Portland, ME) contributed 15 on 5-9 shooting, while Josh Tanguay (Jr., Gorham, ME) rounded out double figure scorers for the Beavers with 12 points. Tanguay would be the second Farmington player to tally a double-double with his game-high 11 rebounds.

Husson University will face off with Thomas College in the NAC Championship Saturday afternoon with a 2:00 p.m. tip time.
