New York, N.Y. - Hunter College men's soccer dropped its last regular-season conference game on Wednesday to John Jay College with a score of 4-3.

A second half surge from the Bloodhounds took them past the Hawks, who led for most of the game. The loss gives the Hawks a 3-3-2 record in CUNYAC this season.

Hunter's first goal of the day came at the 13:30 minute mark as Thomas Leira kicked the ball towards the goal and Harry O'Conor recorded a goal off a header to take a 1-0 lead.

The Hawks got another one 10 minutes later when Leira dribbled the ball past the John Jay defense and found the back of the net, giving Hunter a 2-0 advantage.

The Bloodhounds got on the board at the 35:19 minute mark when they came up with the ball in a struggle with Hunter's goalkeeper, recording a goal to make the score 2-1 at halftime.

Things looked good for the Purple and Gold when they earned another goal early in the second as Michael Merlo converted on a penalty kick to give the Hawks a two-point edge in the game.

John Jay responded 14 minutes later with another goal, but the Hawks remained in control, leading 3-2, until the Bloodhounds struck again off a penalty kick to tie it up with 20 minutes left.

With five minutes left in regulation the Bloodhounds took a corner kick, crossing the ball well enough to convert off a header and take the 4-3 lead. The Hawks would not find another goal, falling in a heartbreaker, 4-3.

Hunter goalkeeper Noah Doughterty recorded six saves for the Hawks in the loss.

The team returns to action on Saturday when they face Sarah Lawrence at 12 p.m.
