High winds and heavy rains didn’t stop the Rhode Island Oceaneers from opening up their offense and grabbing a 3-2 win over the Philadelphia Fury on Saturday at Bryant University in Smithfield, R.I.<\/p>\n

Rhode Island’s Anthony Baumann fired the opening salvo in the 22nd minute before Seydou Bah leveled it in the 56th minute. But the hosts quickly reclaimed the advantage on a 65th minute strike from Wilder Arboleda, while Sam Fonseca widened the gap in the 71st minute. The guests responded\u00a0in stoppage time\u00a0on a 92nd minute Amadou Sheriff goal, but it was too little, too late.<\/p>\n

The win improved the Oceaneers’ mark to 2-3-3 (9 points) while the Fury fell to 3-4-2 (11 points).<\/p>\n

With the wind to his back, Baumann put the Oceaneers on the board midway through the first half when he bent a 23-yard free kick over the wall and into the back of the net.<\/p>\n

The Fury attempted to file a response before the break, but the combination of Rhode Island goalkeeper Chris Moura’s play and attacking against the wind made the task of finding a first-half equalizer particularly difficult.<\/p>\n

But in the second half, the Fury began to impose their will on the match, and converted a chance before the hour when Bah beat Moura to level it.<\/p>\n

Unhappy with the way the second stanza was unfolding, Oceaneers coach Jasir Charris introduced Emerson Barros and Jefferson Rojas in the hopes of getting more from his attack.<\/p>\n

The substitutions proved to be masterstrokes, as Arboleda and Fonseca both scored shortly after, giving the hosts a two-goal margin in the latter stages.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia, to its credit, would not bow easily, as Sheriff brought one back for the guests in stoppage time.<\/p>\n

The Oceaneers will return to action on Nov. 11 when they hit the road to face fellow New England selection Mass United FC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
