Star Athlete Joins Pros

Eryn Doiron, a four-year member of the MMA women’s soccer and basketball teams, has accepted a position to play for Hershey FC, a semi-pro team in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

Doiron, a Power Engineering Technology major, helped guide the women’s soccer program to their first-ever North Atlantic Conference (NAC) Championship and NCAA Tournament appearance. She was named 2019 NAC Women’s Soccer Player of the Year, and appointed to the First Team All-Conference. The accolades did not stop there; in December, Doiron was named to the 2019 United Soccer Coaches NCAA Division III Women’s Scholar All-East Region Third Team.

On the soccer pitch, the midfielder led the Mariners and the entire conference with 21 goals this season, including 11 in conference play. She also dished out three assists to lead the Mariners and the league with 45 points. Her 1.17 goals per game average ranked her 13th in the nation among Division III players.

The Wilton, Maine native left her mark on the Maine Maritime women’s soccer record books becoming the all-time leading goal scorer with 52 career goals, while also setting single-season records for goals (21) and points (45) this season. She is the program’s all-time leader in penalty kick goals (4).

During the 2019 soccer season, Doiron collected a pair of NAC Player-of-the-Week honors, and the entire women’s soccer program set new single-season records in wins (13) and shutouts (11).

Three days after wrapping up the women’s soccer season in the NCAA First Round against Amherst, Doiron was on the court for the Mariners women’s basketball team. Appearing in all 21 games since joining the team, the guard has helped lead the Mariners to their twenty-third NAC tournament appearance and one of the most successful regular seasons in program history as the Mariners recorded their fifth 20-win season in the program’s 24 seasons.
