NEW LONDON, N.H. – October 9, 2016 – After trailing 2-0, the Colby-Sawyer men's soccer team scored five unanswered goals to come away with a 5-2 North Atlantic Conference (NAC) victory over Lyndon on a cool and rainy Sunday afternoon.

The Hornets put the first goal on the board in the 7th minute when goalkeeper Matt LaClair (Beekmantown, N.Y.) sent a towering ball past midfield that took two big bounces over the Colby-Sawyer defenders. Junior Hunter Torrey (Newbury, Vt.) connected his head to the ball as it was coming down the second time to finish past the oncoming Charger keeper.

Lyndon doubled its advantage in the 39th minute off another header. Torrey sent a cross into the box where junior Joshua Thibault (Glover, Vt.) finished for his first goal of the season.

Colby-Sawyer was able to get a goal back in the waning moments of the first half when junior Denali Sexton (Barrington, R.I.) scored with 20 seconds to play off a feed from sophomore Anthony Romeo (Albany, N.Y.).

The Chargers carried the momentum into the second half where they scored four goals on their first four shots of the frame.
