Mingoes move to 3-0 in BFA play after defeating Baha Junior FC

Despite a lackluster effort, The UB Mingoes defeated Baha Junior FC 3-0 in Bahamas Football Association action Sunday at The Roscow R.L. Davies Field.

The Mingoes have been prolific in scoring in their first two matches but ended the first half tied 0-0 against Baha Junior FC after scoring two goals in the first half against Renegades FC in the first game of the season and scoring four goals against Cavalier FC in the second match of the season.

The Mingoes didn't score until the 51st minute off a corner kick from Nathan Wells to give Rodain Lamour his first goal of the season and as a Mingoe. Mingoes take the 1-0 lead.

Nathan Wells' speed paid off for The Mingoes in the 61st minute. Wells intercepted a lazy pass from Baha Juniors near the penalty box for an easy unassisted toe shot to give the Mingoes the 2-0 advantage.

Lamour though wasn't done on the afternoon. In the 89th minute, Lamour fielded a loose ball near the center and fired the long pass to give Ricardo Walkes the opportunity for a bending strike right pass the Baha Junior FC keeper.  Lamour picked up the assist as The Mingoes went up 3-0—the eventual final score as the match ended seconds later.

The Mingoes now sport a 3-0 record in the league.

Despite the win, assistant head coach Alex Thompson said he was "disappointed in the way the guys plays but happy with the win.

"We had some freshman step up in the second half," he said. "On a day where our typical key players were a bit lacking we had role players step up and I think kit was huge for the team."

The Mingoes are expected to play IM Bears 3pm Sunday at The Roscow R.L. Davies Field.
