It's Limo Time! Limo's hat-trick lead Rams to wild 5-4 come-back victory

LA MIRADA, Ca. -- Caetano (KK) Limo scored all three of his hat trick goals in the second half as the University of Mobile Rams (3-4-2) came back from a three-goal deficit to defeat Biola University 5-4 in non-conference action Thursday night in La Mirada, California.

Biola led 3-1 at the intermission and added a fourth goal 15 minutes into the second half to put Biola ahead 4-1 with just 30 minutes remaining in the contest.

Despite the deficit, Limo scored the first of his three second half goals in the 64th minute to cut into the Biola lead on a combo assist from Alex Sesto and Pete Rantala. Just four minutes later, Mark Robinson netted his third goal of the season off a direct free kick to pull the Rams to within one goal at 4-3.

In the 77th minute, the Rams finally pulled even when Limo scored again off a beautiful pass from Robinson tieing the game at 4-4.

Finally, less than a minute later, Limo completed the wild comeback scoring his third goal of the half in the 77th minute on another assist from Sesto putting Mobile ahead for good, 5-4.

The Rams outshot Biola 12-5 in the second half.

In the first half, Rantala scored his third goal of the season in as many games played in the 29th minute cutting into the early 2-0 lead and pulling the Rams within one goal.

Adrian Rochofski, who picked up the win at goalkeeper in Saturday night's 5-2 win over Cumberland, started again for the Rams and allowed three first half goals before giving way to James Beggs, who played the entire second half allowing only one goal and making two saves.

Mobile continues their west coast swing on Saturday as they travel to Azusa, California for a showdown against no. 6-ranked Azusa Pacific University at 3 p.m. central time.
