Greg Conrad scored the go-ahead goal with a header at 79:50 as Middlebury came back to defeat Wesleyan in a NESCAC game Sunday morning. The loss snapped Wesleyan's six-game unbeaten streak as the Cardinals are now 7-3-1 overall and 3-2-1 in the NESCAC. The Panthers move to 7-2-1 overall and 4-2-1 in the league, returning to action Wednesday when they host Castleton at 3:30 p.m.

The two teams played a scoreless first half, with Wesleyan outshooting the Panthers 7-5.

The Cardinals nearly took the lead less than three minutes into the match on a shot from point-blank range by Komar Martinez-Paiz, but Middlebury goalie Greg Sydor made a diving stop to his right.

The best Middlebury scoring chance in the half came with 28:09 when Conrad blasted a shot from the right from 15 yards, but Cardinal goalie Jack Katkavich went to his knees and caught the ball in his midsection.

Wesleyan came out on fire in the second half, registering five shots on goal in the first 10 minutes. One of those, a header by Adam Cowie-Haskell, found the back of the net 7:50 into the half. The goal came off a free kick by Brandon Sousa.

The Panthers tied the match at 68:49 on a goal by Daniel O'Grady. The unassisted tally from 18 yards out beat a diving Katkavich inside the left post.

Middlebury completed the comeback when Conrad scored after a centering pass from Philip Skayne with 10:10 remaining.

Sydor earned the win in net for Middlebury with a career-high 12 saves, while Katkavich finished with five stops for the Cardinals.
