BANGOR, Maine -  Husson University used a five-run first inning in game one, and back-to-back six-run innings in game two to pick up a doubleheader sweep over NVU-Lyndon for the second-straight day at O'Keefe Field this weekend.

GAME ONE: Husson 8, NVU-Lyndon 0

As they did in the two games the day before, the Eagles once again got off to a fast start. Sydney Ames blooper to right fell for a lead-off double, and Whitney Bess and Kenzie Dore each drew walks to load the bases. Morgan Coleman then drove in a run on a fielder's choice to third, when the Hornets got the force at home, but threw late to first trying to get the double play. Bess scored on the throw, and Husson went up 1-0. After Olivia McCarty drew a walk to load up the bases again, Erin Bonenfant's RBI single up the middle brought Dore home to make it 2-0 Eagles. Katie Raymond's bases-loaded walk scored Coleman, and Katie Windsor then brought in two more runs with a two-out, bases loaded RBI single to right. By the time the inning was over, the Eagles had sent 10 batters to the plate, and led 5-0. 

Husson added a run in the second, when Dore scored on a wild pitch after hitting a one-out triple off the fence in center field, and tacked on another run in the fourth, after Bess walked with one out, stole second, and scored on a throwing error when the ball went into the outfield on a pick-off attempt, as the Eagles extended their lead to 7-0. 

Sydney Ames hit a bases-loaded single to end the game in the fifth, scoring Katie Perkins and giving Husson the 8-0, five-inning win.

Another first inning, another fast start for Husson. Whitney Bess gave the Eagles a 1-0 lead on an RBI triple down the left field line, bringing in Katie Raymond who had singled to lead off the bottom half of the first. Bess then stole home to make it 2-0 Husson, after one. 

In the third, Kenzie Dore and Olivia McCarty each walked and scored on Bisson's stand-up triple to extend the Eagles lead to 4-0. Bisson crossed the plate on Kimmie Goddard's deep double to center. After Raymond walked, the Eagles pushed the lead to 5-0 when Whitney Bess drove an RBI single to left, scoring Goddard. Bess and Raymond then came around to score on an error in left field, and the Eagles finished the inning scoring six runs, while extending the lead to 8-0. 

The Hornets plated two runs in the top of the fourth, but Husson answered with six more runs of their own. McCarty reached second base on an error in centerfield, and moved to third on Bisson's grounder to short. McCarty came home when Sibley reached on a fielding error. After Goddard and Perkins singled to load the bases, Raymond hit a bloop, RBI single into center to bring in Sibley and make it 10-2 Husson.
