Waterville, ME – The Husson University women's basketball team topped the Terriers of Thomas College 87-48 in a North Atlantic Conference matchup on Saturday afternoon. Husson's Marissa Albert turned in an 18 point performance, going 4-for-8 from three point land, and was perfect from the free throw line going 2-for-2. Thomas' Elizabeth Goodall led the Terriers with a 16 point performance, grabbing three rebounds, and shooting 5-for-6 from the free throw line.  

The visiting Eagles improve to 9-7 on the season and maintain first place in the NAC with a record of 9-1. With the loss the Terriers fall to 2-14 on the season and 2-8 in the NAC. 

The opening minutes of the first half saw both teams take turns with the lead, but it was the Eagles who took control of the game with 8:44 remaining in the first, when an Amanda Gifford jumper broke the 11-11 tie and started a 15-2 Husson run that put the Eagles up 26-13 with 4:16 left in the half. From there the Eagles were able to cruise to a 35-23 lead at the break.

The second half saw Husson continue to spread out their lead over the host team as four Eagles hit double figures in the win.
