Orono, Maine -- For the first time in program history, the University of Maine women's soccer team captured the America East Championship to earn the automatic qualifier into the NCAA Tournament. The Black Bears are calling on YOU to help support the 'Claim Your Crown' push to help the Black Bears fundraise to purchase their 2023 championship rings.

Maine Athletics asks for your help to recognize the 2023 Black Bears with support to fund the championship ring campaign. All funds raised will go directly towards recognizing the Maine women's soccer roster, coaches, and support staff for their accomplishments this season.

Your gift will support the Claim Your Crown Fund. The NOVUS Claim Your Crown Fund was established by former baseball student-athletes, and brothers, Nicolas P. Bernardo '14 and Garrett M. Bernardo '15 as a way to give back to their alma mater and help provide funds to purchase championship memorabilia for Maine student-athletes.
