BOSTON, Mass. – Suffolk University scored five second half
goals including four straight in the final 23 minutes to defeat
Emerson College 6-4 in Great Northeast Athletic Conference men's
soccer action at Emerson's Rotch Field.
Emerson led the contest 4-2 following Jacob Lawrence's '13
(Clifton, Va.) third goal of the game, but Danny Lloyd '12 (Tegucigalpa,
Honduras) began Suffolk's third comeback of the game just over
three minutes later in the 68th minute. Lloyd lobbed a shot
over Emerson goal keeper Noah Price '12 (Apex, N.C.) off an assist
from Nick Cugine '12
(Ridgefield, Conn.). In the 75th minute Lloyd followed an
Emerson foul with a free kick from 26 yards that rocketed into the
goal just under the cross bar to tie the score at 4-4.
The final two Suffolk goals were off the foot of Jeff Harvey '14
(Reading, Mass.). The ultimate game winner came off a double
assist from Christian
Zambrano '14 (Madrid, Spain) who sent in a corner kick, and Luis Flores '11 (Lee,
N.H.) who crossed the ball to the left side for Harvey to drive
home. The score in the 75th minute gave the Rams their first
lead of the game.
Emerson led the scoring in the 13th minute with Lawrence taking a
crossing pass from Eric Dabdoub '11 (Monterrey, Mexico) and finding
the center of the net. In the 19th minute Lloyd blasted a
shot off Price that Flores tucked in to the right side of the net
to tie the game at 1-1.
The Lions regained the advantage when Mike Giles '11 (Wakefield,
R.I.) found net with an unassisted shot to the lower right corner
of the Ram's net. The marker gave Emerson a 2-1 halftime
lead.

blast with an unassisted goal from 26 yards that found the upper
right corner of the net. Five minutes later Lawrence and
Dabdoub collaborated again, this time with Lawrence knocking in a
header off a Dabdoub corner.
Lawrence increased the Lion lead to 4-2 when he took a shot from
the right side of the restraining box that Suffolk keeper Jack

not stop, setting the stage for Suffolk.'s third comeback of the
