Salem, Mass. -- Kaylie Andrews (Kittery, ME) and Tayla Smedberg (Oxford, ME) each scored two goals as the Huskies of Southern Maine dominated the Vikings of Salem State 7-0 Tuesday on 'Think Pink' night at Alumni Field. The Huskies improve to 7-8 and 6-3 in the Little East Conference while the Vikings slide to 1-10 and 0-9 in the LEC.

Southern Maine's attack on offense allowed the Huskies to control the clock as they possessed the ball for the majority of the first half. Moving the ball well, the Huskies were able to score three goals in the half on eight shots on net. At the 11:15 mark, Southern Maine tallied their first goal of the contest when Kaylie Andrews (Kittery, ME) put home a rebound that was shot by Kerigan Demers (Westbrook, ME). One minute later, the Huskies added to their lead when Makayla Garvin (Springvale, ME) rang the back of the net when she received a pass from Jennifer Poulin (Winslow, ME) from the left side of the net for the easy goal. Just before the end of the half Andrews added her second goal of the game to give Southern Maine a 3-0 lead heading into halftime.

The Huskies continued to surge in the second half as they added a total of four scores, including two goals in a row within a minute span from Smedberg that gave Southern Maine a large lead at 4-0 with 25 minutes remaining in the half. Lindsay Jackson (Readfield, MA) tacked on the final Huskies' goal to make the score 7-0.  Salem State had no answer against the Huskies as they didn't get off one shot in the second half.
