CHICAGO, IL-In the first UAA competition of the season the UChicago Maroons had a steady offensive showing against the visiting Yellowjackets of Rochester.
 
Maroons first goal came in 20' by first year forward, Jadyn Hsieh-Bailey assisted by Jack Leuker. Maroons kept the pressure up and scored their second goal in 30' by Evan Kanellos via an assist from Robbie Pino, taking a 2-0 lead into halftime.
 
The defense stood strong, but the Yellowjackets snuck a single goal by senior goalie, Will Boyes in minute 73'. Boyes had two saves in an otherwise quiet afternoon.
 
Play was physical throughout the 90 minutes but came to a head when midfielder Lyndon Hu was tripped up in the box after he broke loose from multiple defenders. A PK was awarded to the junior and he sent a solid strike just left of the goalie in the 89^th minute of regulation.
 
Maroons grooved to a 3-1 victory.
 
UChicago will return to action on Wednesday, October 4th for an evening matchup against Carthage College at 7:00pm at Stagg Field.
