GORHAM, Maine - The Husson University women's volleyball team (4-18) battled the University of Southern Maine (10-10) on Tuesday night to a three-set loss, despite a very closely matched first set.

Southern Maine 3, Husson 0 (25-22, 25-10, 25-16)

The opening set saw both teams match runs until the Huskies snapped a 22-22 tie by winning three straight points to take the set. That would be the closest the Eagles would come to a victory, as Southern Maine overpowered Husson in the final two sets of the night. 

Senior Mary Grace Power led the Eagles offense after recording a team-high nine kills and adding five digs in the effort. Classmate Hanna Hembrow dished out 20 assists in the match, while Adrienne Beatty finished the night with seven digs to lead the Eagles' defense. 

Southern Maine was led by sophomore Kacey Forester who had a match-high 14 kills and added six digs for the Huskies. Sophie Lindsay recorded 22 assists in the victory, while Lauren Delissio and Rachel Chillé contributed ten digs each.
