REDLANDS, Calif. - After a scoreless first half, the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps men's soccer team took 1-0 and 2-1 leads in the second half, but Redlands was able to break a 2-2 tie in the 86th minute and take a 4-2 win on Saturday afternoon at Farquhar Field. 

Anders Beckton had two goals and two assists for Redlands, whcih stays in first place in the SCIAC at 11-2-3 overall and 8-1-2 in league play. CMS now has an 11-3-2 record overall and is 7-3-1 in league play. The Stags, who could have leapfrogged into first place with a win, falls out of contention for the regular season title with the loss, but still can secure the second seed with a home win on Wednesday in its league finale against Cal Lutheran. 

After a scoreless first 45 minutes, Alex Sondergaard scored his first goal of the season 5:21 into the second half when he headed in a cross from James Gomez , with Dane Knudsen also getting an assist on the buildup. Redlands answered just 2:27 later when Beckton scored the first of his two goals to quickly make it a 1-1 game. 

The Stags took the lead back just under five minutes later, with Jacoby Lockman scoring his first goal of the year off an assist from Gomez at the 57:22 mark. Once again, Beckton scored the equalizer for the Bulldogs at the 65:01 mark to get Redlands back on level terms at 2-2. 

The score held until just 4:41 remaining, when Beckton assisted on the go-ahead goal from Phillip Kostenko. The Stags sent everyone forward to try for an equalizer, and the same combination connected a second time for the Bulldogs with 1:06 to go to make the final score 4-2. 

CMS closes out the regular season with two home games this week, its SCIAC finale on Wednesday against Cal Lutheran and a non-conference game on Saturday against UC Santa Cruz at noon, which will also be the program's Senior Day. A win over Cal Lutheran would guarantee at least one postseason home game in the SCIAC Semifinals next week.
