Box Score

The Black Bears earned a 2-1 win on Sunday in Baltimore.

ORONO, Maine – The University of Maine women's soccer team earned a 2-1 America East win over UMBC on Sunday afternoon at Retriever Soccer Park.

Kristina Kelly opened the scoring in the 19th minute with a long-distance strike. After Rebecca Grisdale fed her the ball 20 yards out from goal, Kelly struck a right-footed shot through traffic and inside the left post. The Retrievers responded 63 seconds later for a 1-1 game.

In the waning seconds of the first half, Tegan Morrison got off a corner kick with 15 seconds to play. The service bounced in the box before Julie Lossius stepped into a shot that deflected off of Abbey Thornton's foot and in for the 2-1 lead.

Maine's defense held strong in the second half – giving up just two shot attempts – and the Black Bears earned the 2-1 win.
