GORHAM, Maine –  Five different players scored as the University of Southern Maine Huskies defeated the Saint Joseph's College (Maine) Monks 6-0 in a non-conference women's soccer game Sunday afternoon at Hannaford Field.

Senior Ashley Sabatino and freshman Cami Blatchford each scored their first collegiate goal as a Husky, and senior Eliza Roy had a brace to highlight the Southern Maine victory.

The Records:

Saint Joseph's College (0-2-0)

Southern Maine (2-0-0)

Today's game marked the 34th meeting between the Huskies and Saint Joseph's College. With today's win, Southern Maine leads the series 19-13-2.  The Huskies defeated SJC 4-1 in 2022 in Standish and 5-0 in 2021.

How It Happened:

Pressuring for an opening goal, Sabatino put the Huskies up in the eighth minute finishing to the far post. Sabatino completed the assist from sophomore Riley Reitchel and made a slick cut on the ball to free up space, putting USM up 1-0.

USM led 2-0 at the half as Roy scored the first of her two goals in the game in the 28th minute. Roy tapped in a through ball from sophomore Bridgette Toland. Toland took the original shot on goal, which was saved by SJC keeper Carly Downey, but continued on in the play hustling to collect the loose ball and finding Roy.

Southern Maine scored four goals in the second half for the 6-0 final. Junior Julia McKenna broke through for a 3-0 lead, running on to a well-played ball from the back off of the foot of senior Mia Sargent before Roy collected the brace in the 66th off of a feed from McKenna for the 4-0 advantage.

Blatchford scored in the 83rd off of a service from junior Ella Boucher before the Huskies scored one more in the 90th minute as junior Aly Veilleux made a long run with the ball and completed the play.

SJC keeper Carly Downey was strong in goal for the Monks making nine saves, including seven in the second half.

The Goalkeepers:

SJC, Carly Downey (0-2), 90:00, 9 saves, 6 GA

SM, Breanna Atwood (2-0), 74:04, 1 save, 0 GA; Hunter Stonebraker, 15:56, 0 GA, 0 Saves
