ORONO, Maine – An early second half goal by the Black Bears pushed Maine past the Northeastern field hockey team Sunday afternoon.
 
The Huskies (3-7) tallied 15 shots to Maine's (9-2) 14 during the game, led by Vanessa Pryor, who had Northeastern's lone goal of the game, and tallied two shots on goal. Natalie Stewart led the team with four shots on goal.
 
Northeastern dominated in penalty corner opportunities (12 to 3) on the day, but was unable to capitalize. Becky Garner notched three saves for the Huskies while the Maine netminders Emma Cochran and Emily Corbett split time in net and had a combined 10 saves on the day.
 
Maine struck first as Sydney Veljacic notched her team-leading eighth goal of the season 13:21 into the game with some help from Casey Crowley.
 
But Northeastern replied right before the end of the first half as Vanessa Pryor tallied her second goal in as many games flicking a shot past the Maine goalie on a scramble play in front of the goal. Pryor gathered a pass from Kristin Abreu at the left side of the net and beat the goalie for the score.
 
With the goal, Pryor notched back-to-back goals for the first time since Delaware (Oct. 24) and Towson (Oct. 26) in 2014.
 
Maine went back on top in the second half when Marissa Shaw notched her sixth goal of the year five minutes into the second half where the score remained.
 
The Huskies will return home for the entire weekend, for the first time in 2015, when they open CAA play against Drexel on Friday, Oct. 2 at 5 p.m. followed by a meeting with cross town rival Boston University on Sunday, Oct. 4 at 3 p.m. Both games will be played at Dedham Field.
