Second-half comeback propels Men’s Soccer over Cairn, 2-1

LANGHORNE, Pa. - Salisbury University men's soccer head coach Zack MacDougall earned his first SU win as the Sea Gulls toppled the Cairn Highlanders, 2-1, on Saturday.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Cairn scored first in the 16th minute on a corner kick. Moses Beers' corner found Tyler Skaer's head in the box for the opening goal of the contest.
  • Salisbury threatened on a Connor Appleby strike in the 22nd minute but his low liner was caught by the keeper.
  • Early in the second half, the Sea Gulls looked like they scored in the 52nd minute. Sean Barwick's ball did go in the net but the referees ruled he was offside to keep the Cairn lead intact.
  • Salisbury benefited from an own goal on a centering pass by David Peters that was deflected into the net to tie the game at one in the 57th minute.
  • A foul in the box gave Salisbury a penalty kick in the 81st minute. Appleby stepped up and sunk the penalty to push SU ahead, 2-1.
  • Cairn pressed to tie the game in the closing stages on the game. As time expired, Josh Goodyear's shot was stonewalled by Skylar McCarthy.
