WALTHAM, Mass. – On the day the Bentley men's soccer program celebrated 50 years of history, the 2022 Falcons came up with a big win, as they defeated Assumption 5-2.
The win also was the 100th career victory for head coach Gary Crompton
Senior Evan Levine (Boca Raton, Fla./Olympic Heights) and junior Lukas Drahos (Melrose, Mass./Mystic Valley) each had two goals.
The win improved the team's NE10 record to 4-5-1 on the season for 13 points. That has them in the playoff picture in the No. 7 position with one match left in the regular season. For the Falcons, that comes on Tuesday at home against Southern Connecticut.
Assumption, who came into the game in a tie for third in the standings with 15 points, dropped to 4-3-3 in NE10 matches.
Bentley trailed 1-0 after the Greyhounds scored in just the 2nd minute off a corner kick.
But Bentley tied it in the 18th minute on Drahos' first goal of the day in the 18th minute. A cross into the box by Sean McLoughlin (Delran, N.J/Delran) was deflected and Drahos volleyed in the deflection for the goal.
Then just before halftime, senior Chad Meyers (East Northport, N.Y./St. Anthony's) scored after a nice through ball by Eric Makhatadze (Clifton Park, N.Y.) led to the finish by Meyers to give Bentley a 2-1 lead at the break.
Assumption tied the score in the 50th minute. After about 10 minutes with the score 2-2, the Falcons then surged ahead with three goals in eight minutes.
Levine scored in the 61st minute off an assist by Johann Fraser (Cambridge, Mass./Rindge & Latin). Less than two minutes later, Levine fired in a shot from 10 yards out after a cross into the box by Gabriel Najim (Peabody, Mass./St. John's).
Drahos finished off the scoring in the 69th minute after some dribbling in the penalty area and a shot to the near post. Fraser had the assist.. The goal was Drahos' 7th of the year.
