Beavers Comeback Falls Short in Home Opener

FARMINGTON, Maine - The University of Maine at Farmington women's lacrosse team hosted their first game of the season on Leib Field on Saturday afternoon. The Beavers fell behind early by as much as five, but battled back to pull within two but was never able to get over the hump in their 14-9 setback against Husson University in North Atlantic Conference (NAC) action.

The Records:

The loss for the Beavers dropped them to 2-9 overall on the season and 1-4 in NAC play. Husson improved to 7-5 with a 4-1 record in NAC play with the victory.

How it Happened:

The Eagles' offense came out of the gates on fire, scoring five goals in the first seven. Maddy Benoit scored a pair while Jordyn Lengle, Averi Baker, and Laela Martinez added goals in the early minutes of the first quarter to stake Husson to a 5-0 lead.

Senior midfielder Abby Trefsger (South Portland, Maine) scored a pair of goals three minutes apart to stop the bleeding for Farmington. Ruby McMinis (Wells, Maine) picked up the assist on Trefsger's second goal.

Goals from Natalie Whitten and Kate Boehmcke in the closing minutes of the first quarter and the early minutes of the second extended Husson's lead back up to five at 7-2.

The Beavers scored three of the next four goals to pull within three heading into halftime. Junior Ally Trefsger (South Portland, Maine) scored a pair, one off an assist from his sister, Abby and the second by McMinis. Lauren Girouard (Concord, Vermont) added her third goal of the season in the final 90 seconds of the half to make it 8-5.

Baker picked up her hat trick marker just 21 seconds into the third quarter to get the scoring in the second half started.

Abby Trefsger matched her with a hat trick tally just two minutes later. McMinis pulled Farmington back within two less than three minutes later on a feed from Ashlee Farrar (South Paris, Maine). 

Following McMinis' goal, the Eagles responded with three straight goals just two minutes apart to grab a hold of the momentum once again. 

Trailing 12-7 to open up the fourth quarter, Abby Trefsger scored her fourth goal of the game on a feed from Ally Trefsger just two and a half minutes into the quarter. Emilie Crocker (Edgecomb, Maine) pulled Farmington back within three with a free-position goal with just over ten minutes left in the game.

Farmington was unable to pull all the way back into the game, letting go of the rope as they pressed to tie the game. Boehmcke and Whitten scored goals to ice the game and make it 14-9 Eagles.
