Bangor, ME - The Eagles' Men's Soccer team earned a stunning victory over the visiting Hornets of Lyndon State. With the win, Husson improves to 6-4-1 and a 4-0 record in the North Atlantic Conference (NAC) to find themselves at the top of the standings. The Hornets fall to 4-7 (1-3 NAC) with the loss. 

First year goalkeeper Brian Potter (Waterville, ME) earned his second shutout of the weekend. Potter made 6 saves in the effort and even tallied an assist on the day when he cleared the ball with a goal kick that caught the wind, and carried near the box where it found a streaking Greg Dawson (St. Andrews, Scotland) who netted the third and final score against the Hornets.

The Eagles received another strong performance this weekend from sophomore forward Zach Emeigh (Waterville, ME) who got the scoring started a little over 5 minutes into the game off an assist by Andrew Austin (Ellsworth, ME). The rest of the half went scoreless, and Husson took a 1-0 lead into the break.

Husson would take over an hour of gameplay before finding their second goal which was created by Emeigh, who crossed it from right to left and found Tyler Metevier (Kittery, ME) for the score with 14:05 left to play in the game. Nearly 4 minutes later, Dawson scored from Potter to make it 3-0. 

Husson outshot the visiting Hornets 19-11 and were more accurate, putting 12 on goal compared to 6 for Lyndon State. 

Lyndon keeper Jason Gray (East Thetford, VT) had 9 saves despite earning the loss, and Phil Curll (Camden, ME) led the Hornet attack, putting 3 of his 4 shots on net.

Head coach Jeff Gettler was delighted with his team's performance, "It was a great finnish to a great weekend for the guys. We had great chances to score which led to some beautiful goals, and we limited theirs, so it was a good game in that respect. Alex Martin (Van Buren, ME) had a great match, he pulled all the strings in the midfield, both ways, and put together just fabulous in the game, definitely the man of the match in my opinion. All and all it was a very good weekend for Husson Men's soccer."

The Eagles return to action next Saturday (October 8th) when they host NAC newcomer New England College for the first game of the season under the lights at Boucher Field with kickoff scheduled for 7:00 pm. The Hornets travel to their arch-rival Jonhson State on the 8th for a 3:00 pm start.
