The Husson University softball team lost its first game in the NCAA national tournament on Thursday, falling to the Framingham State Rams 3-1 in Bangor.
The loss snapped Husson’s 30-game winning streak this season, as the Eagles — ranked No. 20 in the country and winner of the North Atlantic Conference for six straight years — moved to 35-5.
Framingham, winners of the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference, improved to 25-18.
The Rams and Eagles held each other scoreless through four, before Framingham scored three in the fifth. Husson retaliated with a sacrifice fly from sophomore Lydia Rice of Winthrop, but couldn’t mount the full comeback.
Husson will play for its tournament life versus the losers of No. 2 Williams College and No. 3 Rensselaer Polytechnic at 1:30 p.m. Friday at home.
