Bean Fox Scores Twice in Future Pro Under-23 Win
|
A scintillating four-goal display from talisman Damo propelled the Future Pro Under-23s to a ruthless 7-0 victory on the opening day of the U23 National Football Youth League campaign.
Last season’s Golden Boot winner showed no signs of summer rust, picking up precisely where he left off to dismantle the opposition backline almost at will.
The tone was set early as the forward line pressed with relentless intensity, forcing turnovers high up the pitch and capitalising with unerring precision. Harlem Bean Fox proved equally unplayable, turning creator with a sharp assist before finding the net twice himself in a dazzling all-round performance.
Dan capped off the rout, finishing calmly to reward a thoroughly dominant showing across every department. The scoreline was no exaggeration; the side controlled territory, dictated the tempo from midfield, and restricted the visitors to scraps while maintaining defensive discipline until the final whistle.
Beyond the three points and the eye-catching goal difference, the cohesion and incisiveness on display will provide immense encouragement for the coaching staff. It serves as an early statement of intent for the campaign ahead, leaving the side with plenty of momentum and a formidable benchmark to match as the season unfolds.

Armstrong & No. 20 Marshall Suffer First Defeat of Campaign
|
Andrew Armstrong and his No. 20-ranked Marshall Men’s Soccer teammates suffered their first defeat of 2026, falling 2-1 to Utah Valley at Hoops Family Field.
Despite dominating possession and peppering the visitors' goal with 20 attempts, the Thundering Herd were undone by a clinical counter-attack, a resilient defensive display, and an unfortunate deflection straight after the restart.
Marshall looked to seize the initiative from the opening whistle, with Francisco Guimares and Joao Alves both testing the target inside the opening eight minutes. However, Wolverines goalkeeper Kolby Sessions produced two sharp stops in quick succession to keep the hosts at bay.
Utah Valley then delivered a sucker punch just inside the 11th minute. Herd goalkeeper Yurij Obert managed to parry an initial effort from Jose Luis, but the rebound broke kindly to Naime Odeh, who squared for Adem Arous to slot home and hand the visitors a 1-0 advantage against the run of play.
The Herd responded swiftly. In the 24th minute, Carl Romberg picked out Joshua Nugent, who showed composure to slide his finish past Sessions and pull Marshall level at 1-1.
The hosts pressed for a second before the break and thought they had found it in the 30th minute, only for the Utah Valley backline to make a dramatic goal-line clearance to keep the scoreline level heading into the interval.
Disaster struck for Marshall barely 20 seconds into the second half. Utah Valley broke forward and unleashed a shot that took a wicked deflection off a Herd defender and rolled into the net for an own goal, restoring the Wolverines' lead.
Marshall threw numbers forward in search of an equaliser, registering three shots on target in the final 45 minutes. Sessions stood firm, however, producing two vital saves while his defenders executed another desperate goal-line stop to preserve the advantage.
Despite outshooting Utah Valley 20-9 overall and 8-3 in efforts on target, the Herd were left empty-handed on a frustrating night in Huntington.

Thomas College Battle Back to Sink Maine-Farmington
|
A strong contingent of Bermudians played key roles as Thomas College produced a spirited fightback to defeat the University of Maine at Farmington 4-2.
Tre Burgess, Cody Robinson, Chance Eve, Justin Sukdeo, and T'syi Showers all featured for the Terriers in an open, pulsating contest that swung dramatically from end to end before a late two-goal salvo settled matters.
The match began at a frantic pace, with neither side willing to sit back. It was the Beavers who drew first blood in the 11th minute, breaking the deadlock when an inviting cross was met by an emphatic header to make it 1-0.
Thomas responded within six minutes through sharp, incisive combination play. Burgess and Robinson linked up smartly to supply David Ivarsson, who picked his spot and rolled a composed finish into the bottom right corner.
Maine-Farmington regained the advantage in the 23rd minute with a moment of quality, curling a strike into the top left corner to leave the visitors chasing the game once more.
Yet the Terriers refused to yield. Five minutes later, another crisp passing sequence carved open the Beavers' backline, allowing Robinson to apply a simple tap-in and level the scores at 2-2.
Goalkeeper Jamie Fischer then came to Thomas’ rescue with a succession of crucial stops to keep the scores tied heading into the interval.
Thomas seized control of territory and possession after the restart. Both Ivarsson and Robinson saw efforts fly agonisingly wide as the pressure steadily mounted, but the hosts held firm until the final ten minutes.
The decisive breakthrough arrived in the 81st minute from a set-piece routine. A long throw from Gustav Franzen was flicked on by Brynjar Johannsson into the path of Andrew Hodgins, who tucked the ball away to put the Terriers 3-2 ahead.
Before the Beavers could gather themselves, Thomas struck again barely sixty seconds later. Jeremiah Gomez cut inside from the flank and fired cleanly into the net to seal a two-goal cushion and wrap up an impressive conference victory.

Oakwood University Swept Aside by Clinical Tuskegee
|
Neriah Bean and his Oakwood University Men's Soccer team endured a bruising afternoon as they were comprehensively beaten 8-0 by Tuskegee University.
It was one-way traffic from the outset, with a relentless Tuskegee attack carving open the Oakwood defence with ease to establish total command of the contest.
By the time Bermuda's Bean was introduced from the bench, the outcome was already long settled. The substitute goalkeeper entered the fray with 27 minutes left on the clock and his side trailing by six goals, stepping directly into the path of an ongoing onslaught.
Despite the punishing circumstances, Bean stood firm under heavy pressure to register two sharp saves. He was unable to completely halt Tuskegee's forward momentum, however, conceding twice in the closing stages as the hosts capped off an emphatic, eight-goal rout.
Oakwood will now have to regroup quickly after a day where Tuskegee proved far superior in every department.

The victory continues a solid run of form for the Thunderbirds, who comfortably saw out the closing stages to take all three points.
