NEWPORT NEWS, Va.- Salisbury University's men's soccer team traveled to Christopher Newport on Wednesday night and suffered its fourth defeat of the season, 4-1.

The Sea Gulls (8-4-1) trailed most of the game by two goals until senior Wijy Jones netted a Dave Kroening pass in the 76th minute to cut the lead in half to 2-1. This is Jones' third straight game with goal and is now tied with sophomore Nick Malone for the team lead with six.

Christopher Newport (11-4) countered the comeback threat immediately with a score from senior Daniel Fogarty nearly one minute after the Salisbury strike.

SU could not capitalize on opportunities. The Gulls took 11 corners and had nine shots on target but only managed one score. CNU goalie Matt Tengs did not make things easy for SU with eight saves.

The Captains finalized the scoring in the 90th minute with junior forward Michael Caro's second goal of the contest set up by Derek Shaw. Caro's first goal started the scoring in the first half at the 19 minute mark with an assist from Kyle Allen. CNU scored just two minutes later with a Fogarty penalty kick goal in the 21st minute past SU goalie Scott McGuire which put the Captains up 2-0.

The victory was Christopher Newport's sixth straight and first over Salisbury since 2000.
