The University of Maine women’s lacrosse team defeated Northeastern University, 8-7, in a pre-season match at Northeastern on Oct. 27. After losing to Northeastern last spring, the team came up strong with two quick goals in the first three minutes, scored by Sarah Beazley. UMaine’s lead was short-lived because an alluring amount of goals by both teams followed. Robin Botrill, Loren Bowley and Kelly Gunn all scored for UMaine. The defense was led by Sadie Faulkner and Bowley. The team plays this Sunday, Nov. 4, at 10 a.m. at Morse Field against the University of Vermont. Anyone is interested in joining the team can contact Sadie Faulkner or Sarah Beazley on FirstClass for information.

The UMaine roller hockey club now meets on Sundays and Thursdays at 3 p.m. The team will participate in the Jaime Dumont 2001 In-Line Hockey Memorial Tournament. The tournament is set for the weekend of Nov. 30.
On Nov. 2, 2000, 26-year-old Jaime Dumont was killed in an automobile accident. Dumont was an avid in-line hockey player and played his beloved sport at least two nights a week at Howard Sports Arena in Saco. Last year, Howard Sports hosted a tournament in Dumont’s memory. The tournament drew 12 teams in three different divisions. This year, Howard Sports will be hosting the tournament again. With the help of the University of New England, Howard Sports added a collegiate division to the event. Howard Sports will make a donation from the team entry fee to Dumont’s memorial fund. Visit the Howard Sports Web site at howardsp@maine.rr.com for tournament information. Or, contact Matt Richards at mrichards@une.edu.
