THE LEAD – Despite jumping out to an early lead, Lesley University dropped a 3-1 decision at the hands of UMaine Farmington on Friday afternoon in North Atlantic Conference (NAC) men's soccer action at Bob Leib Field.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- The Lynx grabbed a 1-0 lead in the 25th minute as sophomore Osmyn Atwood (New York, N.Y.) set up junior Nick Wadleigh (Glastonbury, Conn.) for his third goal of the year. Atwood played a left footed cross to Wadleigh who headed it home to the far post for the score.
- Lesley maintained the one-goal advantage for just 10 minutes before the hosts evened the score at 1-1 on an unassisted marker by Mohamed Adow (Auburn, Maine), his fourth of the year.
- The score remained knotted at one into halftime, but the Beavers netted the game-winner midway through the second stanza on Adow's second goal of the match. The striker cleaned up a failed clear with a one-time rebound to put the hosts on top for good in the 67th minute.
- Adow put the game away with his third of the day to record the hat trick in the 81st minute off a direct free kick from 23 yard out right in front of the Lesley goal.
