SUMMER SPOTLIGHT ☀️ featuring rising senior Talia Thompson of Colby Women's Basketball 🏀 and Colby Women's Soccer

This summer Talia is working as a Biomedical Engineering Research intern in the Cardiovascular Experimental (CAVE) lab at Aarhus University in Denmark. She is assisting with both cardiovascular biomechanics and heart valve research to help study blood flow dynamics and valve function.

“This internship has pushed me outside of my comfort zone and given me the opportunity to work on research that has real-world applications,” said Thompson. “It has been exciting to see how engineering and medicine come together to improve cardiovascular health while experiencing life and culture in Denmark.”

Welcome back to MULE MOMENTS 🔵⚪️ where we highlight the biggest and most unforgettable athletic moments from the academic year.

9.9.25 - After heading into the halftime break trailing 1-0 to USM, Colby Men's Soccer answered back quickly in the 53rd minute when Chase Dolinko scored off a Charlie Scott assist to tie the game.

Disaster seemed to strike with 20 minutes remaining when a red card put Colby down a man for the rest of the match. However, the shorthanded Mules refused to back down. With just under 10 minutes to play, Scott delivered the game-winner, routing a cross from Oliver Daboo past the Huskies’ goalkeeper. 🙌

Colby held the line defensively to secure a gritty 2-1 victory.
