Two late goals propel Sea Gulls past Wesley

Box Score

SALISBURY, Md. - The Salisbury University men's soccer team scored twice in the final 10 minutes Wednesday to claim a 2-1 win against Wesley College at the SU Soccer Complex.

Salisbury (8-1-1, 2-0-1 CAC) dominated play throughout the game, holding a 26-4 edge on shots in the match. With 10 minutes left, Salisbury senior forward Nick Malone (Salisbury, Md.) scored his sixth goal of the season on a header over the Wesley goalkeeper. Malone's strike tied the game, 1-1, and looked to send it into overtime. But with four minutes left senior midfielder Kyle Sterling (Salisbury, Md.) came up with the game winner, scoring his eighth goal of the season, to put the Sea Gulls ahead 2-1. Sterling beat the Wesley defense, dribbled past the goalkeeper and slipped the ball across the line. He was assisted by freshman midfielder Jimmy Mundy (Ellicott City, Md.) on the play.

The Sea Gull defense played tough and allowed only four Wesley shots. It was a physical game that featured a total of 38 fouls and three yellow cards.  

Wesley (5-5, 2-1 CAC) took a 1-0 lead in the first half on Nico Scarpato's goal in the 12th minute of the game. The Sea Gulls dominated Wesley in the first half, outshooting the Wolverines 16-2, just missing on a number of scoring chances.

Salisbury will be in action again at Lynchburg College on Oct. 3 at 3:30 p.m. They will return home on Oct. 7 to play Stevenson University at 4 p.m. at the SU Soccer Complex.
