Late Goal Lifts USM over UMF

Box Score

FARMINGTON, Maine – University of Maine at Farmington men's soccer (2-6) put up a great fight despite giving up a late second half goal to Southern Maine (2-5-3) in a non conference match-up at Leib Field.

Southern Maine's Justin Pierce scored the games only goal on a header in the 83rd minute. Christopher Pepin and Kyle Curley were credited with the assist on the game winner.

The UMF defenders did an outstanding job keeping USM out of the scoring column for most of the game. The trio Tayoung Nuyepga (Framingham, Mass./Framingham), Braden Maillet (Palmero,Maine/Winslow), and Andrew Longhurst (Middletown, Del./Appoquinimink) were able to turn away several attacks on goal.

Keeper Ronie Morales (Houston,Texas/George W. Hewlett) had a solid game in goal saving two shots before the eventual winner. USM keeper Simon Hulbert saved both shots he faced to record the win.

Jon Randolph (Buckfield, Maine/Buckfield) had the best opportunity early in the second half to put the Beavers on the board.

The Beavers posted 8 shots, 2 on target. Southern Maine had 21 shots, 3 on target.

UMaine-Farmington returns to conference action on Saturday afternoon when they travel to Thomas College.
