ST. MARY'S CITY, Md. – The Salisbury University men's soccer team concluded the Seahawk Classic with a 4-0 victory over the Hood College Blazers on Sunday afternoon, defending their unbeaten run to open the campaign.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• A stifling defensive effort helped the Sea Gulls control the pace of the opening half. SU surrendered just one shot in the opening period while rattling off seven of their own.
• Aden Sabur put Salisbury in front in the 28^th minute, weaving in and out of a trio of Blazer defenders and sneaking a slow roller into the bottom corner for his first collegiate goal.
• Hood found six shots in the second half, but Salisbury turned up the heat to secure the win. The Sea Gulls scored three in the final 22 minutes, started by Sean Barwick's 10^th career finish in the 68^th minute.
• Conner Appleby found the back of the net for the first time this season in the 80^th minute, receiving a feed from Josh Williamson across the face of the net-minder and tapping it in.
• Brett Liston logged his first career goal in the waning minutes, heading the rebound from an Adrian Gonzalez free kick into the onion bag.
