Late goal propels Thomas over Lyndon

Box Score

WATERVILLE, Maine – Max Hansson scored in the 86th minute to lift the Thomas men's soccer team past Lyndon 2-1 in North Atlantic Conference men's soccer action on a rainy afternoon at Smith Field.

Thomas (6-2-2, 3-0-1 NAC) held a 23-6 shot advantage and Dakota Duplissie had a team-high 13 shots with three on goal.

Duplissie was very active early on, registering five of the six shots for Thomas in the first 15 minutes of action. It wasn't until the 24th minute when he would receive a long pass from the midfield, dribble into his shot and beat Hornet goalkeeper Jason Marks (Newtown, Conn.) to take the 1-0 lead.

Lyndon (4-7, 0-4 NAC) would find an equalizer in the final few minutes of the half, when Youl Herjok (Bor, South Sudan) took a free kick from the midfield line and it skipped off the header attempt by Lukas Bohman and past Terrier goalkeeper Winston Trott into the net for an own goal to even the score at 1-1 going into intermission.

The second half took a turn as a total of six cards were handed out, and neither team was able to find much of a rhythm. Both goalkeepers kept the score tied as Trott registered his two saves in the second half and Marks three of his six.

When it appeared the match was headed for overtime, Hansson received a pass from Duplissie and fired a shot over the outstretched hand of Marks from about 35 yards away for what was ultimately the game-winner. It was Hansson's fifth goal of the season.

Lyndon travels to Milton, Mass. Monday for a road game against Curry College. The kick-off is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
