Waterville, MAINE - A day after a tough loss to the 11th-ranked Tufts Jumbos, Colby Women's Soccer came back out to the field to square off against the Bengals from the University of Maine at Fort Kent. The Mules emerged victorious with a final score of 1-0, moving their overall season record to 3-2-1 while issuing the Bengals their first loss of the season.
 
The first period ended scoreless thanks to strong performances from both teams' goalies. The Mules kept the pressure on, with two shots on the goal by Mia Cromwell '24, and additional attempts from Pepper Joseph '24 and Sophia Saleh '25.
