The Continentals erased a 1-0 second-half deficit

BRUNSWICK, Maine – The Hamilton College Continentals scored twice in the second half to collect a 2-1 come-from-behind NESCAC road win over the Bowdoin College Polar Bears at Bowdoin's Pickard Soccer Fields on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 17.

Season Update

  • Hamilton (5-4-4, 2-4-3 NESCAC), was coming off a 3-0 win at Rochester on Tuesday, Oct. 13.
  • Bowdoin (6-2-4, 3-2-2) had suffered one loss in its previous five conference matches.

How It Happened

  • Bowdoin broke the scoreless tie in the 23rd minute as Alden Mehta carried the ball into the left side of the box and fired a low shot across the face of goal and into the right corner for a 1-0 lead.
  • With 17:25 left in the half, Oliver Mylon '29 intercepted a pass in the left side of Hamilton's attacking third, dribbled past a Bowdoin defender and hit a left-footed shot that was saved by Oliver King and knocked out of bounds for a corner kick.
  • Troy Miller '28 sent a cross into the box with just over five minutes remaining, and it fell to Ari Lyubinsky '30, who volleyed a shot that sailed wide of the goal.
  • Lyubinsky drew a free kick for the Continentals in the 41st minute, and Miller placed a shot on goal that was caught by King.
  • Just over five minutes into the second half, Hamilton's Brady Hill '30 glided past a Bowdoin defender and carried the ball into the attacking third. He slid a pass to Mylon, who took a touch into the right side of the box before drawing a foul and earning a penalty kick for the Continentals. Miller converted the kick from the spot and tied the score at 1-1 with 39:26 remaining.
  • Mylon dribbled at his defender into the left side of the box with over 35 minutes left, but King came off his line and stopped the shot from close range.
  • Hamilton's Tobin Walsh '29 saved a shot by Adam Prince in the 61st minute, and Lyubinsky cleared the ball to prevent a rebound attempt.
  • The Continentals grabbed the lead with 14:06 remaining. Mylon received the ball on the right wing, made a quick move to his left to evade a defender and curled a left-footed shot around the goalkeeper and into the side netting.
  • Hamilton did now allow a shot on goal for the remainder of the match to close out the road win.
