Conway notches hat trick, Boyce three assists in 4-0 victory as Los Buhos return to first place

STATESBORO, Ga. - Evan Conway notched a hat trick and Devin Boyce recorded three assists as Union Omaha overcame torrential rain as well as South Georgia Tormenta FC in an emphatic 4-0 victory at Erk Russell Park on Friday night to regain first place in the USL League One standings while still holding a game in hand on Chattanooga Red Wolves SC. Boyce’s three-assist night was the third in League One’s history.

The visitors made an ideal start as in the fifth minute Conway received a pass from Boyce and skated past a defender in the right side of the penalty area and squeezed off a shot that was partially deflected but still found the left corner of the net for an early lead. Devin Boyce then hit the left post for Omaha in the 37th minute with a low shot from the right side of the box, but three minute later Conway added his second of the night with a blistering shot from 30 yards that picked out the right corner of the net to put Union up by a pair of goals at the break.

Trying to one-up his teammate, Damia Viader delivered the third for the visitors on the night in the 66th minute after receiving a pass from Boyce in the left channel with another outstanding long-range strike from 25 yards out that flew into the left side of the net, but the night belonged to Conway, who completed the second hat trick in Omaha’s history five minutes later. A lifted ball into the penalty area by Boyce saw Conway shield off his marker from the ball inside the penalty while creating space for a first-time shot that capped the victory for Los Buhos and sent them back to the top of the League One standings at the end of the night.

Fort Lauderdale CF is the next opponent for both clubs. Omaha will welcome its Floridian foes to Werner Park on Wednesday, and Tormenta will head south to face them on Sunday, Oct. 10.
