Hunt's overtime goal lifts SU to a 1-0 victory against Frostburg St.

Box Score

FROSTBURG, Md. – The No. 18-ranked Salisbury University men's soccer team captured a 1-0 overtime victory at Frostburg State University on Saturday afternoon.

The Sea Gulls (8-0-2, 3-0 CAC) broke through in the 98th minute of play, as junior midfielder Morgan Hunt tallied his first goal of the 2010 season. The Millsboro, Del., native found some open space from 25 yards out and fired a booming shot toward the right side of the goal. The shot went past the Frostburg (3-5-1, 1-1-1 CAC) goalkeeper and gave Salisbury its first overtime victory of the 2010 season.

The Sea Gulls got off to a quick start, earning a corner kick just 21 seconds into the match, but could not capitalize. The first half was even throughout, as SU outshot FSU 5-3.

Salisbury had a superior advantage in the second half of play, as the Gulls peppered the Frostburg goal with 10 shots and earned eight corner kicks but could not break through.

In overtime, SU tallied the only two shots, as Casey Rector's header shot in the 96th minute was saved before Hunt's heroics led the Gulls to their eighth victory of the season.

SU sophomore goalkeeper John Vnenchak tallied his third victory of the season and was only forced to make a pair of saves in the contest. Frostburg keeper Stephen Cavallo staved off a pair of shots for the Bobcats.

The Sea Gulls are set to take on No. 17-ranked Johns Hopkins University this Tuesday in Baltimore, Md., at 7 p.m. In 2009, the two teams met in the second round of the NCAA tournament, with the Blue Jays advancing on penalty kicks after 110-minutes of scoreless action.
