JOHNSON, Vt. (September 26, 2010) – Husson University women's soccer snapped a Johnson State five game winning streak with a 2-0 victory at Minaert Field in North Atlantic Conference (NAC) play.  The Eagles used a strong second half effort to turn a scoreless tie into a road conference win.  Johnson State falls to 5-3 overall and 1-1 in the NAC while Husson jumps to 6-4, 2-0 in the NAC.

After a scoreless and back and forth first 45 minutes that saw flurries of scoring opportunities for each side, the Eagles took control in the second half outshooting Johnson 13-1 and holding a 6-0 advantage in corner kicks.  Husson had several good chances early including a miss penalty kick opportunity but broke through at 68:06 when Rebecca Jones (Newmarket, Maine) drilled home a shot just under the crossbar with Amanda Gifford (Lee, Maine) picking up the assist.

 Husson would lock things up with 5:01 left to play in the match when Megan Lajoie (Van Buren, Maine) took a nifty one-touch pass from Megan Clement (Brunswick, Maine) and deposited it in the goal past a frozen Johnson keeper in Amber McCullock (Morrisville, Vt./Peoples).

 Rozlyn Peterson (Newport, Maine) made five saves on the afternoon to earn the shutout victory for Husson while McCullock made several outstanding stops throughout the contest and 12 saves total.

Husson will host Bates College on Wednesday at 4:00 pm.
