FARMINGTON, Maine — Junior Bailey Donovan's 27-point, 15-rebound double-double helped Husson University women's basketball beat the University of Maine at Farmington 71-61 on Saturday to remain unbeaten in North Atlantic Conference play. 

Husson (8-4, 6-0 NAC) held on to a 19-18 advantage following the opening quarter of play on Saturday and lead 31-30 at the break after UMF (6-6, 1-3 NAC) finished even with the Eagles as 12 points apiece for the quarter.

Additionally, Donovan finished with 21 second half points, while sophomore Makaelyn Porter finished one point shy of tying a career-high with 16 points in the victory, scoring eight of those down the stretch in the final quarter.
