Mellor's Late Game Heroics Help Farmington Secure Draw at Plymouth

FARMINGTON, Maine — The University of Maine at Farmington men's soccer team battled back late to earn an exhilarating 1-1 draw against Plymouth State University in non-conference action on Wednesday afternoon at Arold Field behind the heroics of sophomore Vishal Mellor (Union, Maine).
