The University of Maine women’s soccer team played against the Hartford Hawks and tied them 1-1 on Sunday afternoon. UMaine now has a record of 4-5-3 on the season and is 2-1-1 in American East Conference play.
The Black Bears scored in the 17th minute to take a 1-0 lead when Hartford put the ball into their own net. The Black Bears would stay in control until 1:01 when Hartford scored on a goal from Meagan Reimer to tie up the game at one goal apiece. Both teams would not let in any other goals. Neither team was scored on after the two overtimes were played, resulting in a tie.
Goalie Jasmine Phillips helped Maine in the tying effort by making four saves, including three in the second half and one crucial save that prevented a goal from going in during the first overtime. Both teams seemed to be evenly matched as both Maine and Hartford had almost identical shot totals throughout the game. In the end, Maine outshot Hartford 13-12.
Maine is currently ranked fifth out of nine teams in America East play, but with four games to play, they can still finish the season with a better ranking than they currently have.
Maine returns to action on Thursday, Oct. 18, when they travel to Durham, N.H. and will face America East rival, the New Hampshire Wildcats at 3 p.m. New Hampshire is currently ranked third in America East play with a record of 8-5-1 and a conference record of 4-1-0. Maine will return home on Sunday to face the Binghamton Bearcats of New York.
