BANGOR, Maine -- Vonde Saunders registered both goals for No.17 University of New England, including the game-winner 2:29 into double overtime, as the Nor'easters edged Husson University by a 2-1 margin on Monday evening (Sep. 11) at the Winkin Complex.

The deciding marker came as Alex Staples collected the rebound from her own try and slipped a pass over to Saunders on the right for a shot inside the near post.

UNE (2-1) has claimed the last four meetings against the Eagles (2-2).

After a scoreless opening half, Saunders put the visitors ahead in the 44th minute, converting a feed from Kyla Bartnicki. That 1-0 spread lasted until the 59th minute, when Husson's Sadie Royer finished off a pass from Arika Brochu.

It took seven saves for Liz Sargent to earn the victory in goal for the Nor'easters, who wound up with a 23-17 advantage in shots and 10-7 edge in penalty corners through the course of 88 minutes.

On the other end for the Eagles, Anne Marie Provencal made 12 stops.

UNE will return home to begin its Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) slate on Wednesday (4 p.m.) against Gordon College.
