BANGOR, Maine - The University of Maine at Farmington Beavers scored late in the second half to prevail past the Husson University men's soccer team 1-0 on Sunday afternoon at Boucher Field in the North Atlantic Conference East Divisional Final. With the win, the Beavers advance to the NAC Championship with a 11-4-1 record. 

The first half was an even affair with the Beavers having the best chance of the half. In the 21st minute, the Beavers' keeper Jonah Sautter goal kick, helped by the wind, was saved off the line by Eagles' goalkeeper Alex Rechsteiner as the game remained scoreless at the break

First chance of the second half came in the 49th minute as the Beavers' James Pelletier took a shot from the edge of the box and his shot took a deflection and rang the post as the game remained scoreless. It was the Beavers that earned the opener in the 69th minute as Christan Beliveau cross through the box was met by Cade McHugh at the back post. The Eagles pressured for the leveler but couldn't do so as the Beavers took the 1-0 victory. 

Rechsteiner made two saves for the Eagles while Sautter kept the clean sheet with three saves. 

The Eagles' head coach Gavin Penney commented on the game and the season, "It's a funny ole game. I have said it all along, it is a tough division to get out of. We have had a great season with many many players playing their first year of college soccer. It didn't go the way we wanted today but the future is bright. There are a lot of hurting players right now because it wasn't what they deserved, but we have to learn from it. It's these experiences that will make us stronger, if we use it the right way. It's just hard to take because we have had an incredible season with some strong performances and while I thought we were the better side today, we didn't do enough to score the goals. Credit to UMF, they just kept going. They scored from something out of nothing and defended with their hearts. Good luck to them next weekend."

The Eagles season has come to a close with a 13-3-2 overall record.
