Sterling shines as Sea Gulls earn win against Stevenson

OWINGS MILLS, Md. - The Salisbury University men's soccer team resumed its winning ways Wednesday with a 3-0 shutout over Stevenson University in a Capital Athletic Conference game on the road. The victory ended the Sea Gulls' three-game losing streak and brought its conference record back to .500.

Salisbury (9-3-1, 2-2 CAC) was held scoreless for the first 52 minutes but would strike three times in the final 38 minutes of play. Junior Kyle Sterling had a hand in every goal as the forward recorded a career-high three assists. Sophomore Ben DeLisle took a pass from Sterling and beat Stevenson goalie Adam Wiatrowski (six saves) to put the Gulls up, 1-0. The Sea Gulls struck again 10 minutes later when Sterling found sophomore Mike Napolitano for his sixth goal of the season. Junior Kenneth Price had the final score of the game in the 72nd minute.

Stevenson (4-8-2, 0-3-1 CAC) only mustered eight shots against the stingy Sea Gull defense. SU junior Joshua Scotton earned the win in goal for the maroon and gold where he made two saves. This is Scotton's first win this season as SU's goalie.

Salisbury had 15 of its 20 total shots in the second half. The Sea Gulls also took eight corner kicks, two more than the Mustangs.

The victory was the first for the maroon and gold since September 20 when the Gulls defeated Lynchburg 2-1 in double-overtime.

The Gulls will return home to take on CAC opponent St. Mary's (Md.) College on Saturday, October 11, at 2 p.m. at the SU Soccer Complex.
