LEWISTON — Tife Agunloye’s late goal elevated the Bates College men’s soccer team to a 2-1 home win over UMaine-Farmington on Tuesday.

Edward Little alumnus Christian Beliveau scored off an assist by fellow former Red Eddies standout Mohamed Adow a little more than two minutes into the contest to put the Beavers (7-8-2) ahead 1-0.

An own goal 14 minutes later in favor of the Bobcats (4-9-1) tied the game. The score remained 1-1 until Ollie Schiff Stein set up Agunloye for the game-winner with two seconds remaining in the game.

Tife at the horn!
