TOWSON, Md. - For the second straight game the No. 17 Salisbury University men's soccer team was forced to play a double overtime game but this time the Sea Gulls could not record the win. SU suffered its first tie of the season as the Gulls played to a 1-1 draw with Goucher College on the road Tuesday in a non-conference game.

Salisbury (8-0-1) continues its unbeaten streak that stretches 17 games since October 17, 2007.

Goucher (4-3-1) tied the game in the 86th minute when Tim McMullen assisted Galen Guindon for the goal. The SU defense has now surrendered a lead in two consecutive games in the waning minutes of play. Lynchburg scored the game tying goal last Saturday in the 89th minute against Salisbury. The Sea Gulls were able to pull out the 2-1 victory in the 102nd minute.

Salisbury took seven of its 17 shots in the extra periods but could not get the ball past Goucher goalie Justin Holbrook (eight saves). SU junior goalie Greg Wellinghoff made two saves in the tie. Goucher took one shot in the overtime periods, six total for the game. The Sea Gulls took 10 corner kicks while the Gophers had six.

The two teams played a scoreless first half. SU sophomore Mike Napolitano got the maroon and gold on the board with his team best fifth goal of the season in the 60th minute off a Benjamin Reed assist. Reed has a team-high four assists this season.

This is the first tie in the series with Goucher, who used to be a member of the Capital Athletic Conference. Salisbury leads the series 16-0-1. The first meeting between the two teams happened in 1993.

Salisbury will next prepare for its highly anticipated showdown with No. 3 York (Pa.) College on Saturday, September 27, at 2:30 p.m. at the SU Soccer Complex. The Sea Gulls, the defending CAC champions, beat the Spartans twice last season.
