FARMINGTON -- The University of Maine at Farmington has dominated the North Atlantic Conference field hockey tournament since its inception in 2002. Sunday afternoon at Prescott Field, the Beavers added another piece to their legacy with a 3-1 win over Husson in the conference final.

It was the Beavers' fifth title in six years and second in a row.

Rebecca Roy of Skowhegan supplied plenty of fire power for the Beavers, collecting two goals, while teammate Kristin Chambers (tournament MVP) added a solo goal, all in the first half.

"Our offense was strong," Roy said. "I received good passes on both of my goals."

The No. 1 seed in the conference, UMF (13-5-0) will advance to the NCAA Division III tournament. Seeds will be announced today. No. 3 Husson finishes at 12-5-0 after reaching the conference finals for the first time.

Chambers jumpstarted the Beavers' offense, scoring 10 minutes into the game on a splendid three pass combination that began in the midfield off the stick of Ashley Wentworth, who sent a long ball through the middle of the Eagles defense to Elyse Cole breaking down the left side. Cole collected the ball on the run and hit a solid ball across the middle for Chambers and a wide-open net. Chambers' shot went into the right side of the goal for a 1-0 Beaver advantage.

Twenty minutes later the lead had improved to 3-0 after Roy put away two excellent feeds from her teammates. Chambers notched the assist on Roy's first goal, while Alyssa St. Pierre earned an assist on the second.

UMF's offense received plenty of support from the defense, where goalkeeper Kaeleigh Barker amassed 10 saves, including an impressive kick save on an Eagle penalty shot in the second half.

"We have been building for this for the whole season," Barker said. "We were one unit and came through with a Beaver win."

Defender Ashley Weeks earned praise from Barker after making a defensive save in the first half with the score knotted at 0-0. Husson's Krystal Doughty unleashed a shot headed for the left side of the goal when Weeks dove to the weak side to stop the ball with her stick before it crossed the line.

"Ashley made a great diving save," Barker said. "We had a really good team defensive effort but Ashley's save was big."

After grabbing a 3-0 lead in the first half, the Beavers fell back into a defensive mode with Weeks, Renee Trafton, Nicole Lyons and Erika Lucas helping Barker defend the goal.

Husson fashioned an 8-4 advantage in shots in the second half but failed to penetrate UMF's defense until late in the game when Doughty scored with 3:09 remaining in the game.
