Marcelin Kobenan and Paddy Walsh each scored twice, and the Blue Blazes (4-3-1) escaped with a win over the Stags (2-5) in Portland.

Cheverus took the lead in the fifth minute when Anton Behuniak got behind the defense and redirected a well-placed free kick by Shane McGrath into the left side of the net.

Kobenan headed in a lob from the right corner by Jonilson Gomes in the 12th minute.

Cheverus struck again in the 21st minute, as McGrath sent a through ball to Henry Huntley, who tucked it into the left side of the net.

Walsh finished a short pass from Ithiel Mulumba in the 29th minute for a 2-2 halftime score.

Midway through the second half, Walsh kicked in a bounced pass from Kobenan for the go-ahead goal. Kobenan then scored the eventual winner, beating keeper Griffin MacLeod 1-on-1 after a through ball from Walsh.
