Colby Falls in Semifinals, Ending a Great Season

Lew London, Connecticut- The Mules traveled down to Connecticut this weekends to play in the NESCAC semifinals against the Connecticut College Camels. The Mule's fell to Conn. in the last 40 seconds of the game. The final score was 1-0 bumping the Mules down to 7-8-1 and Conn. up to 14-3-0 for the season. 

The first half was an even match up with both teams fighting for possession. Colby put one shot off in the half, coming from Colin Sullivan in the 12th minute, but the ball was wide.  Conn. was able to put three shots on goal in the half. Despite the threats from Colby, the camels defense managed to escape the first half with an even score of 0-0. Colby's Noah Jackson helped keep the Mules in the game with three first half saves. 

The Camels were able to top Colby in shot counts in the second half. Colby put four total shots off while Conn. managed eleven. Colby's impressive offense and defensive performance also continued into the second half. The Mule's played aggressively, pushing the Camels to the limit. Jackson made two saves in this half, keeping an even score for the majority of the game. With just under 40 seconds of play left in the match, Connecticut player Jake Creus was able to put a shot into the net, the deciding goal of the game. With 20 seconds left, Connecticut College was called offside and Colby was given one last attempt to tie the game. The Mules loaded the box and sent the free kick into a sea of players. Paul Hawkins was able to get a shot off, but Camels' goalkeeper saved the ball and held onto it as the clock ran out, for a heartbreaking end to a great season for the Mules.
