MEN'S SOCCER ROUNDS OF 2010 WITH 3-2 OT LOSS

The Mount Ida College men's soccer team closed out their 2010 campaign under the direction of first year head coach Joseph Campbell with a 3-2 overtime heartbreaking loss at Rivier College Saturday afternoon in Nashua, New Hampshire. 

Mount Ida started the scoring in the 34th minute of play when Dave Miller (Randolph, MA) drilled home a shot to put the Mustangs up 1-0.  Senior Chris Nugent (Camberley, UK) answered for the Raiders 10 minutes later as he scored an unassisted goal to knot the game at 1-1 heading into halftime.

The second half scoring once again saw the visiting Mustangs pull ahead when Steve MacDonald (Medford, MA) put one in the back of the net in the 49th minute.  Again, the Raiders would fight and claw their way to a tie as senior Andrew McCarn (Laconia, NH) took a pass from fellow senior Brian Joaquim (Mont Vernon, NH) to make the score 2-2 and eventually send the game to overtime.

The overtime period lasted just over 5 minutes, with both teams getting shots on goal, but it was Rivier senior Sean Auclair (Ludlow, MA) who was able to get the ball past a diving Mustang goal keeper for the win. 

Rivier's senior goal keeper John Jarvis (Henniker, NH) picked up the win for the Raiders, giving up 2 goals and recording 8 saves while Mount Ida's keeper, Steve Enright (Merrimack, MA), took the loss, making 7 saves and giving up 3 goal.

Both teams had an identical 10 shots on goal, with the Mustangs edging the total shot count 22-18.  The Raiders improve to 3-14 overall and 1-8 in GNAC play while the Mustangs fall to 1-14-1 overall and 1-7-1 in the GNAC.
