FH: Labrie scores but Panthers tripped up at Husson

BANGOR, Maine – Senior Mackenzie Labrie (Canaan, N.H.) scored in her fifth straight game and classmate Kayla Antonucci (Windham, N.H.) made seven saves but the Plymouth State University field hockey team suffered its first loss of the season, 2-1, in a non-conference game at Husson University at Dr. John W. Winkin Sports Complex on Sunday afternoon.

The game started with both teams trying to gain an advantage in field position but both defensive units stood strong to keep the game scoreless after one. The hosts started strong in the second quarter, scoring just 34 seconds into the frame. The Eagles added one at the buzzer to end the half for a 2-0 lead at the break.

Labrie got the Panthers on the board when she buried her eighth goal of the season 5:19 into the third quarter. Senior Athena Comeau (Rutland, Mass.) received a feed from Labrie and carried the ball past the Husson goalkeeper but a defender knocked the ball loose. Labrie pounced on the loose ball and knocked it in to cut the deficit to 2-1.

The Panthers had the field tilted in their favor for most of the fourth quarter but could not solve the Husson defense as the Eagles held on for the 2-1 win.

Plymouth State dips to 4-1 while Husson improves to 3-2.
