Box Score
NEW YORK, N.Y.—Though the Gryphons scored three goals for the second straight game, Sarah Lawrence College men's soccer was tripped up by Medgar Evers College, 4-3, in a non-conference game at Randall's Island Park on Friday.

Sarah Lawrence (0-2) was first on the scoreboard when rookie Finn MacMillan (London, U.K./Bryanston) scored his second goal of the season in the 15th minute. First year Varun Kelkar (Nagpur, India/Jenks) fed a ball up the side of the field, giving MacMillan the opportunity to find the bottom corner of the net for a 1-0 edge.

Less than six minutes later, rookie Lucas Simoes (Sao Paulo/Colégio Objetivo) stole the ball from the Cougar defense and netted the ball with a 10-yard shot to double the lead to 2-0.

With the Gryphons' momentum rolling, the 28th minute saw sophomore Roland Wynter (New York, N.Y./Lower Manhattan Arts Academy) score in his first appearance of the season. Junior Juan Sucre (Caracas, Venezuela/ASFM (Monterrey, Mexico)) sent a long entry pass from the backfield that found Wynter in the box in position for a short goal.

Trailing 3-0, Medgar Evers (1-1) got offensive strength from a goal in the final minute of the first half, sending the teams into the break with the Green and White on top, 3-1.

MEC put another goal on the board in the 56th minute, trimming the gap to 3-2. The final five minutes proved fateful, when the Cougars scored back-to-back goals to clinch the 4-3 victory. SLC was held without a shot on goal in the second half.

For Sarah Lawrence, Tahmid Munat (Dhaka, Bangladesh/Notre Dame) put two shots on goal while Wynter finished with a pair of shots. In goal, rookie James Berry (New York, N.Y./Kent) totaled nine saves in his collegiate debut.

At the other end, MEC's Sadia Le Prince Bodian earned the win in 45 minutes between the pipes, while Osondu Esonwune notched two saves.

Sarah Lawrence next travels to York College (N.Y.) on Monday.
