Bangor, ME - The Husson women's soccer team beat Thomas College 2-0 in their first North Atlantic Conference game at Boucher Field Saturday afternoon.

We finally got a chance to really play our game against Thomas today and our team had a lot of fun and success on the field. Desir'ee and Hannah did well to finish their chances, and they definitely deserved goals for all the hard work they've been putting in. We rallied everywhere across the field for a great team victory today."
