NEW LONDON, Conn. - The Mitchell College men's soccer team dropped
a 1-0 conference match-up to Lesley University on Saturday
afternoon.
Lesley (12-3-2 overall, 4-1-1 NECC) scored the game's only goal in
the 60th minute off a set play on a corner kick. Ari Sinanis took
the corner and served a ball to the far post, where Stephen
Siragusa finished it off with a header into the back of the
net.
Mitchell (4-8-0 overall, 2-2-0 NECC) tried earnestly to tie the
game in the final 30 minutes, but Lesley's defense was solid. The
Mariners' best chance came with 20 minutes to play when, following
a scrum in front of the net, a loose ball trickled along the goal
line. The Lynx, however, cleared the ball away from danger before a
Mitchell player could get a touch.
Lesley held a 17-11 advantage in shots for the contest. Sophomore
goalkeeper Kevin Woodford made eight saves for the Mariners while
Zach Almeida-Beers had four for the Lynx.
Mitchell returns to action at Salve Regina on Thursday, October 22
at 3:30 p.m. Lesley will next host Daniel Webster College on
Tuesday, October 27 at 8 p.m.
