ARLINGTON, Va. - In a Wednesday night rainstorm the Salisbury University men's soccer team was victorious over Marymount (Va.) University, 6-1, at the Gunston Field before a supportive crowd of 65 who braved the elements.

Salisbury (12-4-1, 7-1 CAC) needed this win to secure the top-seed in the upcoming Capital Athletic Conference tournament. The Sea Gulls will have the opportunity to host throughout the tournament which begins Saturday, October 27. SU will host No. 8 seed Hood College in the CAC quarterfinals at the SU Soccer Complex. The game time for Saturday's game has not yet been determined.

The Sea Gulls scored the game's first goal in the 12th minute as senior midfielder Zach Grubb scored off an assist from junior defender Ryan Chacon. The Saints responded four minutes later with an unassisted goal from Dylan Hide. The score remained the same for the rest of the first half as the two teams went into the break knotted 1-1.

In the second half, the maroon and gold broke open the game with five unanswered goals to win their third straight game. Junior Romaine Bruney and freshman Joe Rubel scored back-to-back unassisted goals to start the new half. Bruney was awarded with his second game-winning goal.

Chacon assisted freshman Dave Corrigan in the 76th minute to make the score 4-1. A minute later Corrigan assisted sophomore Kyle Sterling on his 14th goal of the season. Sterling was named CAC Athlete of the Week on Monday. Sophomore defender Benjamin Reed capped the SU scoring with first goal this season off an assist from fellow sophomore Greg Taylor.

SU outshot Marymount (Va.) 16-11 and the Gulls took seven corner kicks to the Saints' one attempt. SU goalie Greg Wellinghoff (9-2) earned the win and made six saves in the game. Marymount (Va.) goalie William Brahmstedt (three saves) recorded the loss for the Saints.
