FARMINGTON, Maine – Senior Kashley Weymouth scored with 6:22 remaining in regulation to lift the University of Maine at Farmington to a 2-1 North Atlantic Conference field hockey win over Thomas College, Tuesday afternoon at Prescott Field.

UMaine-Farmington improved to 6-4 overall with the win, 5-1 in NAC play, 

Weymouth got hold of a loose ball in front of the goal, and slipped a shot around a crowd and just inside the left post for the game winner – her fourth game-winning goal of the season.

The Beavers knotted the game at 1-1 just 3:49 into the second half, when sophomore Rebecca Young tapped home a ball that was pin-balling around a crowd of players in front of the goal.

Thomas' Lauren Hachey put the Terriers up 1-0 with 1:54 remaining in the opening frame, coolly finishing a penalty corner shot off an insertion by Brittany Premo.

UMaine-Farmington outshot Thomas 28-8 over the course of the match, and did not allow the Terriers to take an attempt at goal during the second half. The Beavers also had a 17-9 advantage in penalty corner opportunities, including a 7-2 margin in the second half.

Curran Brierley registered three saves over 70 minutes in the Farmington goal to record the win, while Terrier goalie Sofia Sourgiadakis charted 12 saves in the Thomas cage.

UMaine-Farmington returns to action on Sunday, Oct. 20, when it travels to Husson University for a 2:00 p.m. game. Thomas will host Simmons University in a NAC contest on Saturday, Oct. 19, at 11:00 a.m.
