AMHERST, Mass.—First-year Ted Rosenfeld (Morristown, N.J.) scored the game-winning goal from 30 yards out with five seconds remaining in the game to send No. 18 Babson College to a dramatic 2-1 come-from-behind victory over No. 3 Amherst College Wednesday afternoon in non-conference men's soccer action at Hitchcock Field.

With the victory, Babson won for the fourth time in its last five games to improve to 6-3-1 overall while the Mammoths suffered their first loss of the season and had their 23-game unbeaten streak snapped and dropped to 6-1-1 on the season.

Rosenfeld produced his first collegiate goal for the game-winner and senior Liam Rhatigan (Holderness, N.H.) also scored in the 74th minute for the Beavers, with classmate Joseph Cardaropoli (Longmeadow, Mass.) and graduate student Ryan Grund (Princeton Junction, N.J.) registering assists. Junior Walker White (Coral Gables, Fla.) made five saves in goal in the victory.

Junior Niall Murphy (Cambridge, Mass.) scored for the Mammoths with an assist from senior Wyatt McCarthy (New York, N.Y.). Senior Max Landa (La Crescenta, Calif.) made four saves in the Amherst goal in the setback.

The first half was defensive-minded with just seven shots, four by Amherst and three by Babson. Landa saved a header by Babson off a corner kick in the 20th minute before the Mammoths scored on their first shot on goal in the 33rd minute. McCarthy chipped a pass over the Babson defense to Murphy near the left post, Murphy snapped a one-timer off the hands of White and into the back of the net.

Landa made a nice stop on Rhatigan from 10 yards out after a Babson throw-in with three minutes to go in the half to preserve the one-goal lead at halftime.

After Landa came out of his goal to deny Cardaropoli in the 68th minute, the Beavers finally broke through in the 74th minute. Grund dropped a pass back from the right end line to Cardaropoli at the top right corner of the box, and he sent a cross to the front of the net where Rhatigan tipped a header past Landa to level the score at 1-1.

Each team had a corner kick in the final three minutes but could not convert a scoring opportunity and it appeared the game would end in a draw. But Babson did not give up in the final minute. Senior Samuel Kalishman (Clarksville, Md.) heaved a throw-in into Amherst territory, where Rosenfeld retrieved it and ripped a shot into the upper left corner of the goal past a diving Landa for the game-winner with just 0:05 on the clock.

Amherst finished with a 12-7 advantage in shots although shots on goal were even at 6-6. The hosts took five of the seven corner kicks in the game.
Both teams return to conference play on Saturday as Babson visits Emerson for a NEWMAC contest at 1 p.m. game and Amherst hosts Williams for a NESCAC test at 2:30 p.m.
