SALISBURY, Md. - The Salisbury University men's soccer team honored its nine seniors on Senior Day with a first round Capital Athletic Conference win over Marymount University, 4-0, on Sunday afternoon at the SU Soccer Complex.

The game was a defensive battle until the 42nd minute when SU freshman Kyle Sterling scored on a Jason Smith cross for what ended up being the game winning goal for the Gulls.

Salisbury (11-4-1) started the second half scoring when senior T.J. Nairn ripped a direct kick into the back of the net. The free kick was a result of a Marymount (7-11) foul which led to one of its two red card ejections.

Senior captain Wijy Jones netted a dynamic header off of a beautiful cross into the box by sophomore Nick Malone. With the goal Jones extended his consecutive goal game streak to six games.

Sea Gull junior Andrew Henciak ended the scoring with 15 seconds left in the game setup by an assist from senior Michael Walker.

Salisbury once again split time between the posts with junior goalie Matt Blue (one save) and senior Scott McGuire (one save). The Sea Gull defense shut out the Saints and surrendered only three shots. SU also took more corner kicks than MU, 8-2.

Salisbury will now travel to York to take on the top-seeded Spartans in a semifinal match at 2 p.m., Wednesday, November 1. SU will look to avenge a thrilling overtime loss to YCP in the regular-season, 2-1. York is currently ranked third in the nation and are defending CAC champions.
