NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - Salisbury University and Christopher Newport University, two of the top men's soccer teams in the Division III South Region, squared off Wednesday evening in a key game where the two squads came away with a 1-1 double overtime draw.

Salisbury (10-3-2) trailed 1-0 at the half before the Sea Gulls tied the game at the 53:48 mark in the second half. Sophomore midfielder Ben DeLisle scored his sixth goal of the season off an assist from senior midfielder Scott Sparrow. The Sea Gulls had a chance to win the match late but a go-ahead goal was called off due to an offsides penalty.

Junior goalie Greg Wellinghoff made four saves in the net for the Sea Gulls while his counterpart junior Matt Tengs stopped no SU shots.

CNU (11-3-2), ranked fourth in the region a spot above Salisbury, scored the game's first goal in the 31st minute when Clif Kipper scored off an assist from David Haas.

SU will travel to Frederick, Md., on Saturday, October 18, for a Capital Athletic Conference game with Hood College at 3 p.m.
