Salisbury falls at Lynchburg on late goal

LYNCHBURG, Va. - The No. 20 Salisbury University men's soccer team fell at Lynchburg College Saturday afternoon, 2-1. The Sea Gulls battled back from a 1-0 deficit to tie the game at 1-1, but a late goal by Lynchburg midfielder Pat Brown, with less than five minutes to play, would be the difference.

The Hornets (9-1-1) claimed the 1-0 lead on a goal in the fourth minute. The Sea Gulls (8-2-1, 2-0-1 Capital Athletic Conference) came back and got the equalizer from sophomore Morgan Hunt (Millsboro, Del.) in the 42nd minute. Salisbury played the ball into Kyle Sterling (Salisbury, Md.), who was able to get around a defender, getting the ball to the end line. Sterling played the ball back to Hunt inside the top of the box where he first-timed the ball into the upper part of the net. The goal was Hunt's second of the season.

The Sea Gulls dominated in almost every statistical category on the day, holding a 15-6 edge on shots and an 8-1 advantage in corner kicks. Salisbury senior goalkeeper Greg Wellinghoff (Salisbury, Md.) made two saves in the match.

Salisbury got good play in the midfield from freshman Jimmy Mundy (Ellicott City, Md.) and senior Ben Reed (Arnold, Md.) and up front from Sterling and senior Nick Malone (Salisbury, Md.).

The Sea Gulls will get back to Capital Athletic Conference play on Wednesday when they host Stevenson University. The match is set to begin at 4 p.m. at the SU Soccer Complex.
