Bedoya’s late game heroics helped keep first place Fairleigh Dickinson undefeated in NEC play with a perfect 5-0 mark following a 2-1 double overtime win over Quinnipiac on Friday and a 2-0 conquest of Central Connecticut State on Sunday. He recorded two goals and an assist on the week as the Knights stretched their win streak to five matches. With just 1:30 left in regulation and FDU trailing Quinnipiac by a goal, Bedoya sent a long pass into the box that was headed in by Donny Mayard to force overtime. Bedoya went on to score the game-winner with 1:19 remaining in the second extra session when his shot from inside the 18-yard box found the lower right corner of the net. With the Knights nursing a 1-0 lead against CCSU, the Weston, FL native converted a feed from Samson Malijani on a breakaway for an insurance tally with seven minutes to play. Bedoya, who has recorded at least one point in each league game this season, is fourth in the conference in assists (five), fifth in points (14) and sixth in goals (five).
