Mariners Fall in New Balance Challenge Cup Finale

More news about: Maine Maritime men's team
BANGOR, Maine – Douglas Silviera's goal midway through the 80th minute proved the difference as the University of Massachusetts Boston picked up a 3-2 win over Maine Maritime to capture Husson's New Balance Challenge Cup.

Silviera took the ball on the right flank from just beyond the midfield stripe and streaked to the top-center of the box. After the long run to his left, he shot back along the ground and tucked the game-winner just inside of the right post for the deciding goal.

Silviera's tally came 12 minutes after Maine Maritime's Kyle Haslam (Lamoine, Maine) scored his second goal of the day, collecting a David Lord (Kenduskeag, Maine) carom and punching it in the open net. Haslam finished another scramble in front of the net 1:55 into the contest to give Maine Maritime an early jump, but the Beacons' (1-2-1) Victor Hugo Costa answered 53 seconds later. Mass.-Boston claimed the lead 10 minutes into the second half when Alejandro Lazalde made good on Brian Sanz's pass.

Play tilted towards the Mariners' net for the bulk of the contest. The Beacons fired off 25 shots to Maine Maritime's 16. William Trace Lacour (Charolttesville, Va.) fended off 13 Boston advances, while his counterpart, Reyn Johnson stopped 10. The Mariners offered more quality opportunities, none better than in the opening minute when a Mariners' forward shot wide-left of an unmanned net.

The Mariners return to action next Sunday, opening North Atlantic Conference play with Maine-Farmington.
