Brown scores in Huskies 4-1 loss to Aigles Bleus

MONCTON, NB - Saint Mary's forward Will Brown scored, but the Huskies dropped the result 4-1 to the Moncton Aigles Bleus in Atlantic University Sport men's soccer on Sunday afternoon at Croix-Bleue Medavie Stadium in Moncton, NB.

The first 45 minutes were played evenly, with both teams generating several scoring chances. Huskies first year keeper Logan Briand (Halifax, NS) made some outstanding saves, but a miscommunication in the 45th minute led to an own goal, giving the Aigles Bleus a 1-0 lead at half.

The second half saw the Aigles Bleus continue to pepper Briand with shots, and despite several more great saves, the Aigles Bleus were able to add two goals to their tally, with Mael Lavail scoring in the 49th minute, and Soumaila Mohamed Dagnoko scoring in the 70th minute to extend the lead to 3-0.
