WALTHAM, Mass. -- Sophomore forward
Roy Torjman's (Tel Aviv, Israel) second-half breakaway marker pulled the Cougars to within a goal, but host Bentley University went on to defeat Caldwell University, 3-1, in a men's soccer contest at the Bentley Soccer Field on Saturday in the second leg of the season kickoff tournament there.
Sophomore keeper
Kura De Oliveira Curado (Santiago do Cacém, Portugal) made two saves after taking over in the second half in net from freshman
Diogo Da Silva (Newark, N.J.) who made one stop.
The Falcons (1-0-1) scored two first half markers and maintained the 2-nil lead until Torjman took a pass from sophomore MF
Mark Ibarra (Elizabeth, N.J.), beat the defender and broke into the open field, rolling the ball into the right corner in the 62nd minute to halve the deficit.
But the hosts' defense stiffened, and CU managed just one shot the rest of the way.
The Cougars are back in action on Wednesday in their home opener vs. Molloy at 3 p.m. at Caldwell Athletic Field.
