SARANAC LAKE — A late first-half goal proved to be enough as North Country CC handed Jamestown CC a 2-1 loss in the Jayhawks' NJCAA Region 3 Division III men's soccer opener Saturday afternoon.

"I thought we outplayed them, but we made a couple of mistakes that hurt us," JCC coach Pat Anderson said.

Henry Uzdavinis scored on a rebound with four minutes left in the first half. The original shot was blocked by Jayhawks goalkeeper Nick Mole, but rebounded to Uzdavinis, who scored the tie-breaking goal.

Nyle Bird scored his first collegiate goal as he booted in a corner kick from Ray Amborski in the first half to tie the score at 1-1.

North Country CC took the 1-0 lead on another rebound early in the first half.

Mole made five saves for the Jayhawks and Harry Bennett made eight saves for the Saints.
