BIDDEFORD, Maine – Husson University outscored the University of New England by 27 over the final three quarters on its way to a 41-14 victory in the inaugural Lobster Trap Game at UNE Blue Storm Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
 
The Eagles (5-2, 2-1 CCC) amassed 459 total offensive yards, including 350 through the air by Nic Visser, and held UNE (3-3, 1-2 CCC) to just 220 yards of offense. Visser was 25-of-39 for four touchdowns and an interception and also led the team with 38 on the ground.
 
Tyler Halls was on the receiving end of seven balls for 191 yards and a score. Aidan Hogan had eight catches for 65 yards and two touchdowns. Garrett Poussard ran in for two scores.
 
Connor Sirois had 123 passing yards and a touchdown for UNE. Mikey Brennan led the squad with four catches for 61 yards. Parker Belsky had one catch, a 10-yard touchdown.
 
Husson drove down the field on a long 14-play, 76-yard drive on its first possession to take a 7-0 lead with 5:58 to play in the opening quarter. Poussard ran in for the early touchdown.
 
Following a punt by UNE, Michael Lemay was able to punch the ball free from Poussard on the first play of the ensuing drive. Ryan Turner scooped up the loose ball and scampered down the sideline 26 yards into the endzone to knot the score at 7-7.
 
Halls hauled in a 41-yard catch and capped the Eagles' next scoring drive with a 13-yard touchdown to put Husson in front 14-7 at halftime.
 
The Nor'easter offense was unable to get anything going as the Eagles scored twice more in the third quarter. Poussard ran in for his second of the day to start the third quarter. Another long pass to Halls, this time 42 yards, setup a seven yard catch by Hogan to extend the lead to 28-7 after three quarters.
 
Shane LaPorte pinned the Eagles deep in their own zone on a 44-yard punt early in the fourth quarter. A quick three-and-out gave the Nor'easters great field possession at the Husson 28-yard line to begin their next drive. Jakob Rivers grabbed a 21-yard pass to start the drive and three plays later Belsky caught a touchdown to trim the deficit to 28-14.
 
Jon Bell took any momentum earned by UNE back as he nearly took the kickoff the distance before being brought down by the Nor'easters kicker on the five yard line. Visser tossed his third score of the day to Wenston Dinizio to extend the lead back to three scores. Hogan grabbed his second TD of the day with 3:06 to go for the final margin.
 
Derek Barden led the way defensively for the Eagles with eight tackles, five for loss, and a sack. Kaleb Caron had seven stops in the victory. Keegan Stanton-Meas made nine tackles with three for a loss to pace UNE. David Hutchison had six stops with three going for negative yardage. Trey Snowden made a highlight reel interception near the end zone for the only pick of the day for either side.
 
The Nor'easters travel to Endicott next Saturday for a 12 p.m. kickoff.
