COACH'S QUOTE
"We played a strong first half today," head coach Kate Pfeifer said. "Unfortunately, our defense broke down in the second and we allowed a very good Maine team to gain momentum and opportunities, which they converted on."
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• Vermont received its first penalty corner in the 33rd minute and moved the ball to senior Landon Warren, whose shot was turned aside by Mia Borley (4 saves).
