FARMINGTON, ME - Victoria McIntyre (Mars Hill, ME) scored a game-high 18 points and added seven rebounds to lead the Husson University women's basketball team to a 65-57 win at UMaine-Farmington on Wednesday evening. The Eagles improve to 16-8 overall and 14-3 in NAC play while UMF falls to 11-13 and 10-7 in conference play.
