SALISBURY, Md. - Salisbury University men's
soccer head coach Gerry DiBartolo earned his 300th career win as
his Sea Gulls defeated Hood College, 6-0, in a Capital Athletic
Conference matchup at SU Soccer Complex in front of a crowd of 320
on senior day. DiBartlolo, now in his 26th season, is the 21st
coach to reach the 300 win milestone in Division III history.
Salisbury (11-4-1, 6-1 CAC) scored three goals in each half and was
paced by junior Romaine Bruney who netted a
game-high two scores and also dished out one assist. Bruney scored
the game-winning goal in the 14th minute on a Kyle
Sterling (one goal, two assists) assist to give the Gulls
a 1-0 lead. Sterling immediately added an unassisted goal five
minutes later as he still leads the team with 13 goals, eight
assists and 34 points.
Freshman Chris Finney ended the first half scoring
for SU with a strike in the 25th minute off of a Scott
Sparrow pass.
Bruney and Sterling combined on a double assist that lead to
freshman Mike Napolitano's fifth goal on the
season. Napolitano is the top freshman scorer for SU with five
goals and 11 points. The Sea Gull scoring ended right before the
end of regulation (87:08) with a goal from freshman Dave
Corrigan setup by sophomore Greg
Taylor.
Senior goalie Matt Blue (3-2-1) got the nod on
senior day as he contributed 64 shut out minutes in goal for the
Gulls and recorded one save. The SU defense has now recorded its
11th shutout of the season as it sports a 0.63 goals against
average.
Hood (4-11, 1-7 CAC) was out shot by the Gulls 27-4. HC goalie
Shawn Fernholz added 11 saves between the pipes for the
Blazers.
The Sea Gulls recognized their four seniors who have helped the
maroon and gold to a 59-13-4 record over the past four years, the
2004 CAC title and two berths into the Division III NCAA
Tournament. Seniors Andrew Henciak, Zach
Grubb, David Kroening and Blue have won
over 80 percent of their games through their careers.
Salisbury wraps up its season this Wednesday as it travels to
Arlington, Va. to meet up with Marymount (Va.) University for its
final CAC and regular-season game of the year. The Sea Gulls are
currently tied for first-place in the CAC with York (Pa.) College
as SU defeated YCP on the road earlier this season 1-0.
DiBartolo is now ranked 21st on the all-time NCAA Division III
men's wins list. The Frostburg State University graduate has led SU
to its 16th straight winning season as well as winning five CAC
championships with six NCAA tournament appearances in his 26 year
tenure.
