Box Score CASTINE, Maine – Nicholas George (Bangor, Maine) factored in on all of Maine Maritime Academy's goals in a 3-1 win over Maine-Farmington. George netted the first two and assisted on the insurance marker to get the Mariners (3-2, 1-0) off to a winning start in North Atlantic Conference play. The Beavers dropped their fourth consecutive contest.
Abduallah Alkhayyat's (Jeddah, Saudi Arabia) through ball at the top of the box late in the 16th minute was sent to the lower left corner by George to give the Mariners an early jump. It was the only goal scored in the first half, but not the only time Alkhayyat set up for George. With the game knotted at 1-1, Alkhayyat inserted a ball into the box from the right side for a George finish. His fifth goal of the season held up as the game-winner, however, he tacked on the helper on a late insurance marker finished by Kyle Haslam (Lamoine, Maine), who punched in for the fourth time in his freshman campaign.
Dahir Muktar (Lewiston, Maine) accounted for the Beavers tally. A nifty give-and-go down the left side of the box left Mariners' keeper, William Trace Lacour (Charlottesville, Va.) with little shot to stop the Beavers' advance. Lacour posted a pair of saves, including a dandy from point blank to seal the victory. Farmington keeper, Paul Dupre (Rehobeth, Mass.) turned away seven Mariners' shots. Maine Maritime fired off 21 shots to Farmington's five.
Maine Maritime returns to action on Tuesday against Maine-Fort Kent. Farmington hosts St. Joseph's (Maine) on Wednesday.
