BEVERLY, Mass. -- Trailing 4-0 less than eight minutes into the match, Endicott College recovered to take the lead just before halftime and then scored four consecutive goals in the second half to pull away for a 12-9 win over the University of New England in the Commonwealth Coast Conference regular-season finale Tuesday afternoon (April 26) at Hempstead Stadium.
