Achekh Pushes Men's Soccer into a Double Overtime Thriller with MMA

Box Score

FARMINGTON, Maine --- The University of Maine at Farmington men's soccer team (3-3-1, 1-1-0) forced a double overtime, 1-1, tie against Maine Maritime Academy on Saturday in North Atlantic Conference action.

Henry Hersey pushed Maine Maritime into an early lead with a goal in the second minute.

The Beavers kept their poise and answered back with the equalizer from Ibrahim Achekh, coming out of halftime. Luke Sterling was there for the assist on Achekh's seventh goal of the season.
