WATERVILLE, Maine – Women's soccer defeated NAC rival Thomas College on Saturday afternoon 2-1, to improve to 4-9 overall and 2-5 in the conference.

The Terriers got on the board first in the 12th minute when Mary Grace Morris lobbed a shot over the top of Mariner keeper Kelsie Hilton (Monmouth, Maine) for her third goal of the season to give Thomas the lead.

Just over 14 minutes later, Maine Maritime found the equalizer off the foot of Victoria Cooper (Saco, Maine) on an assist from Briana Obshatkin (Dedham, Mass.) that Cooper dodged by Terrier keeper Paige Leary.

In the 33rd minute, the Mariners took the lead when Morgan Libby (Brunswick, Maine) headed in a cross from Obshatkin to make the score 2-1 that would hold into the half.

The second half proved scoreless and the Mariners hung on for the victory.

Hilton ended the afternoon with one save, and Leary recorded four saves in net for Thomas.

The Mariners will return to action tomorrow, Sunday, October 19th, as they host Pine Manor College for a 2:30 pm tilt.
