Eagles Edge Mules

Box Score

BANGOR, ME – Sometimes in soccer, all it takes is one goal.  That's exactly what happened today in Husson University's win over Colby College in women's soccer 1-0.

The goal came from the tandem of Michelle Manning (SR, Hampden, ME) and Rebecca Jones (FY, Newmarket, NH).  The two players got out in the open field in the 20th minute with even numbers plus the goalie to beat, and Jones fed a perfect pass to Manning who took a shot and got it past Colby goalie, Loni Pisani (SR, Kanata, Canada).

"Colby is a very good team," said Husson Head Coach Keith Bosley.  "We're pleased with the win, particularly because we played the way we'd like to heading into playoffs."

Defense was definitely a factor in today's game as Husson out-shot Colby 12 to 4.  Husson just edged Colby in corner kicks, 4 to 3.

As it goes, sometimes all you need is one goal, but on the other hand all you could need is one save.  Husson goalie Rozlyn Peterson (JR, Newport, ME) only needed one save today, and she got it.  Colby goalie Pisani ended the day with 3 saves.

Husson walks away with the victory and improves their record to 11-5-1 heading into their next match at Thomas College on Saturday, October 23.

The Colby College Mules drop to 4-5-3 on the year, and have yet to find their way to a victory in conference.  They will be looking to getting back to their winning ways in their next match against Connecticut College on October 23.
