BANGOR, ME—The Husson University Eagles hosted the Mariners of Maine Maritime Academy for their homecoming match today and emerged victorious by a score of 3-0.  Both teams played competitive soccer for the entire duration of the match.  The score remained at zero a piece until Marshall Davis (So., Patten, ME) took the ball down the field and scored unassisted, giving the Eagles a 1-0 lead just under 20 minutes into the half. 

The score would remain at 1-0 until less than a minute into the second half, Tyler Metevier (Jr., Kittery, ME) rocketed a free kick just outside of the keeper's box off the far post and into the net.  The next goal came in similar fashion when Adam Loiacono (Jr., Cranston, RI) received a free kick from Greg Dawson (Jr., St. Andrews, Scotland) and put it in the back of the net using his head in the 65^th minute of play.  This would ultimately give the Eagles what they needed to secure a 3-0 shutout against conference rival Maine Maritime. 

After the game, Husson Coach Jeff Gettler had this to say about his Eagles.  “The guys came out and played with passion intensity, and purpose.  It was a team effort and they played the way they're capable of playing.  It's important to get this effort with the match against conference rival Farmington coming up on October 9 at Farmington.”

The Eagles will take on Amherst College at Amherst Wednesday, October 6, at 7:00pm.
