The University of Maine field hockey team fell to a 7‑0 defeat on Sunday, slipping to a 0‑1 record as the No. 15 UMass Minutewomen posted a commanding victory.
Isla Campbell opened the scoring just seven minutes into the match, putting the Minutewomen on the board early and setting a tone that would persist throughout the game.
Amber Farion proved to be the offensive engine, striking three times in the first half and adding a fourth goal in the third quarter; her accuracy overwhelmed the Black Bears' defense.
Niamh McKenzie capped the scoring in the fourth quarter, while Cara Falconer contributed the final goal, sealing a 7‑0 final tally that left little doubt about the Minutewomen's superiority.
What’s Next for the Black Bears
Maine’s attack struggled to find rhythm, with only a handful of shots on target from Emily Chisholm, Floor Dijkhuizen and Eloise Penty, but the team will look to rebound when they host Stonehill on Friday and travel to Davidson on Sunday.
