ORONO – The University of Maine women’s soccer team won its third straight game Sunday, topping Temple 2-1 to complete the Black Bears’ nonconference schedule.

It helps that Gorham’s Kelsey Wilson is on a hot streak of her own. Wilson scored a goal in each half against the Owls (4-5). She’s found the back of the net five times and has an assist in the Bears’ last three games.

Against Temple, Wilson scored on a header late in the first half, then again in the 67th minute. The second tally put Maine up 2-0. Temple’s Niki Conn scored on a penalty kick with 17:08 remaining to narrow the margin.
