Three players scored goals to propel the Mount Ida College men’s soccer team to a 3-1 win over North Atlantic Conference foe Thomas College this afternoon.

With the victory, the Mustangs preserved their unbeaten record versus NAC opponents.

Both squads went scoreless until the tenth minute, when freshman Graham Perrault (Shelbourne, Vt./Bridgton Academy) converted a penalty kick for his first collegiate goal. It gave the Mustangs a 1-0 advantage. Classmate Chris Meuer (Warminster, Pa./William Tennent) scored just over ten minutes later to put Mount Ida in front 2-0.

Thomas got on the scoreboard with just over seven minutes remaining, as freshman Tom Desjardins (Fort Kent, Maine/Fort Kent) scored off a feed from Tim Costa to slice to deficit to 2-1.

Junior Joe Kassoy (Glastonbury, Conn./Glastonbury) tallied the first goal of his career less than one minute later to ice things for the Mustangs.

Sophomore goalkeeper Brian Leighton (Turner, Maine/Leavitt Area) stopped four shots en route to his sixth win of the year. Junior Russell Beckwith (North Berwick, Maine/Noble) took the loss after making one save.

Mount Ida (6-3-1, 2-0-1) returns to action on Wednesday, when it travels to Elms College for a league tilt beginning at 4:00 p.m.
