WATERVILLE, Maine — Host Colby on Saturday dealt the Middlebury College men’s soccer team its first loss and ended its five-game shutout streak with a 3-0 victory.

About seven minutes later, Yinka Onayemi headed in a cross from Matt Ayers for the key insurance goal.
With Middlebury pushing up, Onayemi struck again on a counterattack.
Colby goalkeeper Peter Quayle made eight saves in a game where Middlebury had a 16-10 shot advantage. Greg Sydor made a pair of saves for the Panthers.
