SALISBURY, Md - The Salisbury University men's
soccer team answered any scoring questions Saturday afternoon as it
put away Randolph-Macon College, 7-0, in a non-conference game
before a crowd of 225 at the SU Soccer Complex.
Salisbury (3-2-1) got off to a quick start when sophomore
Kyle Sterling made a shifty move in the box and
pinpointed a shot in the back of the net from a tough acute angle
on the right side of the goal. Sterling's third goal of the season
proved to be the game-winner for the Gulls.
SU saw six different players score a goal, led by sophomore
midfielder Alex Hargrove who scored back-to-back
goals in a five-minute span in the second half.
The Sea Gulls ended the first half when junior Romaine
Bruney, a transfer from Herkimer Community College, scored
his first SU goal off a bang-bang double assist from freshman
Chris Finney (two assists) and senior
Andrew Henciak (one assist).
Sophomore goalkeeper Greg Wellinghoff (1-0) made
his first start between the pipes for SU and earned his first
collegiate victory and shutout. Randolph-Macon goalie Jason DePre
recorded the loss as he allowed five goals and added six saves. The
Yellow Jackets made two team saves in the loss.
Randolph-Macon (2-4) was held to only four shots and one corner
kick by the stifling SU defense. The Sea Gulls took 11 corner kicks
and 33 shots (15 on goal) in the win.
The maroon and gold also got goals from freshman Mike
Napolitano (one goal, one assist), sophomore Greg
Taylor (one goal) and a final strike in the 89th minute by
sophomore Kenneth Price.
Salisbury hits the road in its next contest for its Capital
Athletic Conference opener against Gallaudet University on Tuesday,
September 18, at 4 p.m. in Washington, D.C.
