NEW LONDON, N.H. - The Colby-Sawyer men's soccer team hosted their first Great Northeast Athletic Conference match-up of the year against Dean College Saturday afternoon where their comeback efforts would fall short.

Rapid Recap:

• The Bulldogs would get a penalty kick early on to set up the scoring for the game that Brian Allen would net to bring the lead to 1-0. Ethan Henderson would add some insurance for the Bulldogs in the 17th minute as he would bring the lead to 2-0.
• The Chargers would cut the lead in half right before the end of the first half with a free kick just outside the box. Colin Riley-Perec (Plymouth, Mass.) would rip the shot, which deflected off the Bulldogs wall, and found itself hitting the back of the net to make it 2-1 going into the break.
