UMPI women register first soccer victory
Freshman Deliah Schreiber scored four goals to lead the University of Maine at Presque Isle women’s soccer team to an 8-6 win over Fisher College in a game played at Park Family Field Sunday.
It was the first victory of the season for coach Trevor Parent’s Owls, who are now 1-3-1 heading into Friday’s home contest against UM-Fort Kent that begins at 4:30 p.m.
Carla Halvorson, a senior from Easton, scored a pair of goals, while Sam Nadeau, a junior from St. David, added another. Jessy Dickison had a pair of assists for the winners.
“We had so much quality in our first half possessions,” Parent said. “Our passing and angles were spot on and we limited their chances.”
UMPI had tied Unity on the road Friday, 1-1, with Halvorson knocking in her first goal of the season to tie the score in the second half.
Owl men tie one, lose another
The UMPI men’s soccer team played to a 1-1 draw with Unity Friday before suffering a 3-1 home loss to Fisher College Sunday.
The Owls are now 0-6-1 heading into a pair of road contests this weekend. UMPI plays at Central Maine Community College Saturday and then takes on Wheelock in Boston Sunday.
Derek Healy scored UMPI’s lone goal against the Unity Rams, tying the score midway through the first half. Neither team was able to score from that point on.
Healy gave the Owls the lead against Fisher, scoring off a Sean Barbosa assist 38 minutes into the match. However, the Falcons then scored three unanswered goals to capture the triumph.
