FREDERICK, Md. – The No. 11 Salisbury University men's soccer team opened up play in the Capital Athletic Conference on Wednesday afternoon, collecting a 1-0 victory at Hood College.

The Sea Gulls (6-0-1, 1-0 CAC) dominated the statistics including a 32-2 edge on shots and 16-0 advantage on corner kicks. But the game would go to halftime in a scoreless tie. It wasn't until the 73rd minute that Salisbury sophomore Phil Bucheimer broke the deadlock.

Bucheimer put home his fourth tally of the season as he finished a feed from junior Ian Wilson with a single touch to the near post. The assist is the second Wilson's career and first since August 2008.

The Blazers (2-3, 0-1 CAC) got their final shot off with just 10 seconds showing on the clock, but the effort was blocked as the Sea Gull defense stood strong, recording its fifth shutout in seven games this season. Sophomore keeper John Vnenchak was not forced to make a single save in the contest.

Salisbury turned up the pressure on the Hood goal in the second half, taking 18 shots (five on target) in the final 45 minutes and getting 11 of the 16 corner kick chances in the second half.

The Sea Gulls will play their next CAC match next Wednesday when they host Marymount (Va.) University. Salisbury will enter that game with a 14-game unbeaten streak (12-0-2) in CAC play dating back to the 2008 season.

Salisbury will be back in action on Saturday at the SU Soccer Complex when the Sea Gulls host Lynchburg College. The game is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.
