The Northern Essex Community College men’s soccer team kicked off its 2024 campaign Saturday afternoon and dropped a hard fought battle to perennial division two contender Mercer County Community College by a 4-1 final score.
The Knights fell behind 1-0 in the game’s ninth minute before Knights sophomore and returning National Junior College Athletic Association First Team All-American Jadiel Bomfim, of Nashua, N.H., knotted the game at a goal apiece. He took a long ball down the right side and dribbled through a trio of Viking defenders and drilled a shot past the keeper and into the upper right corner of the net.
Mercer took a 2-1 lead into halftime as they scored on a free kick from 22 yards out with three minutes remaining in the opening half.
The game remained 2-1, until Mercer added a pair of second half goals in the 72nd and 86th minutes.
