BUZZARDS BAY, Mass. --  Sophomore Ryan Fischer (Marshfield, Mass.) netted a pair of goals as Massachusetts Maritime scored three times in an 11-plus minute span midway through the second half to post a 4-2 non-league college men's soccer victory over Mount Ida in the season opener for both schools Tuesday evening at Clean Harbors Stadium.

Fischer's second tally of the night in the 56^th minute enabled the host Buccaneers (1-0) to forge a 2-2 tie, as he converted feeds from freshmen Tim McDonough (Framingham, Mass.) and Derek Young (Falmouth, Mass.) on the equalizer, and sophomore Josh Hoy (Camp Hill, Pa.) followed with what proved to be the game-winner just 3:22 later when he deflected a Young pass from midfield in the 59^th minute.  Massachusetts Maritime received an insurance marker in the 67^th minute of play on an own goal to account for the final score.

Senior Leo Roy (Manchester, N.H.) gave the visiting Mustangs (0-1) an early 1-0 advantage 7:02 into the contest when he converted a crossing pass from junior Justin Murphy (Holbrook, Mass.), but Fischer evened matters for the Buccaneers in the 31^st minute when he converted a penalty kick after drawing a foul in the box.  Junior Breandan Draper (Lexington, Ky.) then converted another Murphy crossing pass with just 41 seconds remaining in the opening half for a 2-1 Mount Ida edge at the break, setting up the hosts' second half heroics.

Sophomore Mark Mullaney (Bridgewater, Mass.) picked up his first collegiate win in goal with a four-save effort for Massachusetts Maritime, while sophomore Steven Enright (South Kingston, R.I.) made eight stops in net for Mount Ida as the Buccaneers outshot the Mustangs by a 23-11 margin for the match.

Massachusetts Maritime hosts Coast Guard in a non-league outing on Friday evening at Clean Harbors Stadium beginning at 6:00 p.m., while Mount Ida heads to Cambridge, Mass. on Saturday afternoon for a non-league tilt with Lesley that begins at 3:00 p.m.
