FARMINGTON, Maine -- The Husson University (19-6, 17-1) women's basketball team finished up their regular season with a 75-72 win on the road against University of Maine at Farmington (11-14, 9-9) in North Atlantic Conference play on Saturday afternoon. 

The two squads were neck-and-neck for nearly the entire way until the Eagles used the long ball in the fourth quarter. Husson shot 4-of-6 from beyond the arc in the final period, including three attempts in a 1:29 span and generated a 10-point lead. 

UMF managed to get back in the game with Meghan Smith scoring five straight points in the final minute and Jenessa Talarico sinking two free throws, cutting the Husson lead to only 73-72 with 18 seconds left on the clock. 

The Beavers had to foul to stop the clock and Worcester made both bids from the line to seal the win. 

A pair of 20-point scoring attacks by Husson lifted the Eagles past the Beavers. Victoria McIntyre finished the game with 22 points, made five three-pointers, and recorded nine rebounds. Kenzie Worcester contributed 20 points on 5-of-10 shooting and 7-of-8 from the charity stripe. 

Smith reached her career-high 27 points and recorded a double-double in the process with 14 rebounds. Kennadi Grover added 11 points for the Beavers and Kelly Pomerleau had 10 points and five rebounds. 

UMaine-Farmington earned the No. 5 seed in the North Atlantic Conference tournament after a tiebreaker was used to determine a three-team tie. The Beavers travel to No. 4 New England College for the quarterfinal round on Tuesday. Husson earned the No. 1 overall seed and will host the tournament next weekend while earning a first round bye.
