Game Information
Score: Husson University 4, Clark University 2
Records: Clark University 5-9; Husson University 5-5
Location: Granger Turf Field, Worcester, Mass.

How It Happened:
The Eagles kicked off the scoring early when Lauren Russell (Saco, Maine) picked up the ball at midfield and dribbled through the Clark defense and sent a blast past Dani Michaud (Providence, R.I.) that banged the back of the cage just 2:48 into the contest.

Husson was back at it when Libby Kain (Dexter, Mass.) sent a ball into the circle from the right side to Kerianne Downing (Dedham, Mass.) who slipped her shot by Michaud, doubling the visitors lead at 10:29.

Clark answered back when Lauren Mackey (Dublin, N.H.) took a feed from Julia Baud (Utrecht, Netherlands) and beat Eagle netminder Anne Marie Provenchal (Skowhegan, Maine) for her ninth goal of the season and the 40th of her career a little more than four minutes later at 14:48.

The Eagles pushed their lead back to two when they stopped a Clark corner and made an end-to-end rush with Libby Kain sending a ball to Elizabeth Terry (Lebanon, Maine) who made a move around Michaud on the right side and tucked her first marker of the season into the lower left corner at 23:48.

Ahead 3-1 to begin the second half, Husson tacked on another goal when Taylor Lovely (Newport, Maine) sent a ball through traffic to Russell who tapped the ball into a wide open cage.

The game's final goal came after time expired on a Clark penalty corner when Haley Mahan (Bedford, N.H.) deflected an Alyssa Williams (New Sharon, Maine) past Provenchal.

Inside The Numbers:
The game was played pretty evenly despite the result with the Eagles holding a 15-10 edge in shots and a slight 9-7 advantage in penalty corners.
