Men's Soccer Runs Winning Streak To Five With 2-1 Comeback Home ECC Win Over Queens (N.Y.)

Bridgeport, Conn.-The University of Bridgeport men's soccer team ran its winning streak to five and stayed unbeaten in East Coast Conference play at 3-0-0 with a come-from-behind 2-1 home win over the visiting Queens (N.Y.) College Knights on Wednesday afternoon.  The victory lifts the Purple Knights' overall record to 5-4-0.  The loss drops QC to 3-2-2 overall and 1-1-1 in the ECC.

Queens would get the board first in the contest when Jose Lopez found the back of the net off a UB defensive miscue just 4:43 into the match.

The game would stay 1-0 into the second half when the Purple Knights would explode for two goals in a span of 3:09.

UB tied the game when junior Christoffer Olesen (Kristiansand, Norway) scored his second goal of 2012 at the 60:29 mark of the match off a corner kick from sophomore Juan Galarza (Danbury, Conn.).

Just 3:09 after tying the contest at 1-1, senior Lee Middleton (Newcastle, England) headed home what proved to be the game-winning goal off a beautiful cross from junior Clayton Ulmer (New Haven, Conn.).  Middleton also scored the game-winning goal in the Purple Knights' 2-1 win at UDC on Saturday afternoon.

Bridgeport outshot Queens, 19-8 on the day, with 14 of those shots coming in the second half.

The Bridgeport men's soccer team is back in action at home on Saturday evening when they host Molloy College in an important East Coast Conference tilt.  Game time at Knights Field is set for 6:00 p.m. on Saturday night.
