Salisbury tripped up by St. Mary's

SALISBURY, Md. - The Salisbury University men's soccer team suffered its second loss of the season, on Wednesday afternoon, as St. Mary's College (Md.) prevailed 2-1 in a very physical Capital Athletic Conference game at the SU Soccer Complex.

Seahawk (2-5, 1-1 CAC) senior forward David Reumont made his first goal of the year a meaningful one as he netted the game-winner at the 53rd minute of the match.

Salisbury (5-2-1, 2-2 CAC) took 12 shots in the second half, 23 total for the game to St. Mary's five shots, two of which came off the foot of sophomore Nick Malone, who's shot in the 57th minute struck off the St. Mary's crossbar. SU continued to pressure offensively but couldn't get the equalizer before the end of regulation.

The Sea Gulls trailed for 11 minutes in the first half but quickly knotted the game when senior midfielder Wijy Jones scored on a shot past St. Mary's goalie Rick Besore (nine saves) at the 27th minute. Jones' third goal of the year, second in the last two games, was setup by a nice pass from Malone.

St. Mary's got on the board first with a goal by junior Mikael Tigrett, a strike from the right side of the box, 17 minutes into the first half.

SU goalie Matt Blue got his third consecutive start of the season but recorded his first loss along with seeing his scoreless streak halted at 197 minutes.

Salisbury got a solid performance off the bench from freshman midfielder Kyle Sterling who had four shots in the loss.

The two teams combined for 32 team fouls, seven yellow cards and a red card.

The Gulls end their five-game home stand at 2:00 p.m., Saturday, September 30, against Greensboro College.
