Husson women’s soccer prepares for NCAA Tournament run

BANGOR, Maine (WABI) - Husson wons its sixth NAC women’s soccer championship in team history when the Eagles defeated Lesley, 2-0, on Saturday.

Husson has earned a trip to the NCAA Tournament by winning the conference title.

They’ll be facing No. 3 Tufts on Saturday at 11 a.m. at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y.

“It was really exciting to be back. We were there in 2024, and a lot of us remember it. We’re just really excited to be a part of it again,” said Thea Gerfen, redshirt sophomore defender.

“We worked really hard to bond as a team this year. (We) put our heads down and just grinded it out to get to where we are today,” said Hailey Tarbox, junior midfielder.

“It’s always such a crazy feeling to hear Husson’s name being called out, and I think that being able to play a team like Tufts is going to be very, very fun. It’s going to challenge us a lot, but I think that we definitely have the people to give them a good fight,” said Marila Corletto, fifth year midfielder.

The Colby Mules also made the NCAA Tournament after their 2-1 double-overtime loss to Middlebury in the NESCAC Championship.

Colby will face Mary Washington on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. at The College of New Jersey.
