Box Score Bradford, PA - For the first time in conference play, the Mount Aloysius men's soccer team was faced with a deficit as host Pitt-Bradford scored 15 minutes into the game. The Mounties rallied and picked up a 3-2 victory on the road in an AMCC contest on Saturday afternoon.
Mount Aloysius had two great chances early on.
Kevin Ouellette got on the end of a cross but his redirection went off the post. Ouellette then had a breakaway opportunity go just wide.
Five and a half minutes after the Bradford goal,
Kyle Marshall evened things up with a header off of a corner kick from
Jim Smith. Neither side would hit the scoreboard again as the two teams went into halftime tied 1-1.
The Mounties dominated play early on in the second half. Just thirty seconds into the half,

Bradford got a goal back with 23:31 remaining, but the Mounties defense stayed strong down the stretch to keep the victory.
