NEW LONDON, Conn. -- The Mitchell College men's soccer team came up on the wrong end of a 1-0 final at crosstown rival Connecticut College on Tuesday evening at Freeman Field.
Conn's Pat Devlin knocked one in from 12 yards out with 8:24 remaining in regulation to lead the Camels to victory in their season opener. Conn College enjoyed a 28-to-3 advantage on the shot chart and held a 13-to-1 edge in the second half. Mark Cameron made two saves to earn the shutout for the hosts.
Mitchell sophomore Romer Ochoa had four saves in the first stanza. Sophomore Anthony Drake took the loss but impressed the crowd of 352 with his athleticism and his five save performance that included a diving stab on a penalty shot that kept the game scoreless with 25:45 remaining.
With 18:40 to go, Drake denied Daniel Adair on his scoring bid, making a terrific tip save up near the top of the crossbar. Mitchell sophomore Jose Roman III was impressive at outside back, coming up with a couple of key breakups and victories on 50/50 balls.
