OLD WESTBURY, N.Y. – Sophomore Riley Rodgers (Hollis, N.H./Hollis Brookline) picked a good time for his first career goal, scoring 8:50 into overtime as the Bentley University men's soccer team posted a 2-1, non-conference win over NYIT on Tuesday afternoon.

Rodgers scored unassisted, firing a shot from 20 yards out that beat NYIT keeper Michael Doran for the win. It's the Falcons' second win in three matches and extends their unbeaten streak to three.

After a scoreless first half, NYIT grabbed the match's first goal off the foot of Robeson Hilton 4:41 into the second half.

For the second straight match Bentley scored a late equalizer, with sophomore Brennan DaCosta (San Diego, Calif./Westview) converting a penalty kick with just over two minutes left before full time.

Senior Mike Nikiforov (Framingham, Mass./Framingham) made the start in net, but junior Matt Reynolds (Nashua, N.H./Bishop Guertin) took over in the second half and earned his second win of the season.

The Falcons improve to 4-1-1 overall, while NYIT drops to 1-4-1. Bentley is back in action on Saturday afternoon against Le Moyne in Syracuse, N.Y.
