BANGOR, Maine - The University of Maine at Farmington women's lacrosse team opened up North Atlantic Conference (NAC) play on Saturday afternoon against Husson University. The game was originally scheduled to be played in Farmington but was moved up to Bangor due to the snow still being on the field in Farmington.

In the 3rd quarter, the Eagles tallied the first three goals before Emma Bourget (Gardiner, Maine) tallied her 6th goal of the season off a feed from McMinis.
