NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. – Second half strikes from senior Marty Ryan (Albany, N.Y./CBA) and freshman Evan Ryan (Cornwall, Vt./Middlebury Union) saw the Bentley men's soccer team overcome an early 1-0 deficit to claim a 3-1 non-conference victory over Caldwell in North Andover on Sunday afternoon.

The Falcons fell behind after just four minutes on a goal from Patrick Grey to get into an early hole, but they recovered with three unanswered goals to improve their record to 1-1 on the season.

Senior Nick Hoffman (East Brookfield, Mass./Quabbin) got the rally started with a goal in the 15^th minute after he headed in a corner kick from Jose Tirado (Lima, Peru) to level the score 1-1. The score stayed that way into the second half.

Hoffman was involved in the second goal, getting the secondary assist on Marty Ryan's goal in the 58^th minute to put Bentley up 2-1. Ryan finished the play off with a strike from 10 yards away after taking a pass from Scott Levy (Canton, Mass./Canton).

Evan Ryan added to the lead in the 78^th minute with his first career goal after he buried a rebound let loose by Caldwell keeper Michael Hartmann.

Falcons goalie Jack Blatchford (Douglas, Mass./Douglas) made three saves to earn the win.

Now 1-1 on the season, Bentley is back in action on Wednesday when they visit New York Tech.
