Nashua, NH – Husson University won a big North Atlantic Concference decision Saturday versus the Rivier Raiders, 9-0 in front of about 100 fans at Rivier's Raider Field in Nashua.

Husson (4-4 overall, 2-0 NAC) got the scoring early as Liz Nobbin knocked in an unassisted goal just 2 minutes into the game. A few minutes later, Kara Poirier slapped home a Chrissy Larrabee pass to give the Eagles a 2-0 advantage within the first five minutes. Poirier would return the favor as she set up Larrabee for the third goal while both Britt Mellor and Alice Sanborn found the back of the net in the first half.

The second half saw four other Husson student-athletes register tallies as Mariah Arno, Logan Wilson, Kayla Grindle and Renee Tessier all contributed in the win.

Husson goaltender Maicee Gustin stopped the only shot she saw to earn the win, as sophomore Chelsea Kondratowicz played the entire second half for the Eagles. Rivier sophomore goaltender Mackenzie Flagg (Shirley, MA) allowed 7 goals on 18 shots and freshman Colleen Albert (Lincoln, ME) recorded 3 saves on 5 shots in her brief 11 minutes of action.

"We played very well offensively and our senior captain Kara Poirier showed great leadership throughout the game," said head coach Jen Johnstone. "Kara had a hand in scoring and setting up her teammates for several of the goals, and our offense really clicked today."

Husson will also be in action Sunday as they stay within the state of New Hampshire to take on New England College at 2pm in Henniker. Rivier will play Saint Joseph's College of Standish, Maine tomorrow afternoon at Raider Field. Game time is set for 1pm.
