WALTHAM, Mass. – Bentley and Adelphi combined for a seven-goal thriller on Tuesday afternoon, but it was the Panthers that came away with a 4-3 victory in overtime.

After a scoreless first half that stretched into the 50^th minute, the game came to life when junior Chad Meyers (East Northport, N.Y./St. Anthony's) scored for the second straight game, with Connor Mote (Lisle, Ill./Benet) on the assist. Meyers made a run down the right-hand side into the penalty area, and after the ball took a deflection off an Adelphi defender, he volleyed in a shot on the near post for the goal.

Mote then scored himself four minutes later with a brilliantly chipped effort from about 35 yards out to give Bentley a 2-0 lead. The goal was set up after Ronan Fitzpatrick (Coventry, Conn./East Catholic) played a long through-ball from Bentley's defensive half to spring Mote loose, and he chipped a shot over the Adelphi keeper who had charged out.

But the game turned after each team received a red card in the 61^st minute, meaning both teams played the rest of the match a man-down.

Adelphi's Rodrigo Descalzo Rocca scored two straight goals to tie the match up, first in the 65^th minute and then in the 71^st to tie the match 2-2.

The match took another twist when Adelphi went ahead 3-2 in the 83^rd minute on a goal by Filippo Peri.

But there was yet another momentum shift when Bentley fought back and scored the tying goal off the foot of junior Patrick McMahon (Kingston, Mass./Silver Lake) just over a minute later. Bentley won the ball back in the defensive half from Hunter Marshall (Harwinton, Conn./Avon Old Farms). Grad student TJ Walker (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) played a great through-ball over the top of Adelphi's defense to McMahon, who ran onto the pass and buried his shot past the Adelphi keeper from 20 yards out for his 5^th goal of the season.

The match went to overtime tied 3-3, but Adelphi won it on a penalty kick by Paolo Marciano after Bentley was called for a foul in the penalty area.

The Falcons will next be in action on Friday night at 6:30 pm when they host Saint Rose on the football field for Senior Night.
