ASHLAND, Va. – The Salisbury University men's soccer team picked up its first true road win of the season with a 2-1 victory over the Randolph-Macon Yellow Jackets on Wednesday night at Nunnally Field.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Yellow Jackets put a pair of shots on target in the first 10 minutes, but Sea Gull keeper Josh Wendel denied both early chances.
• Salisbury countered in the 13th minute as David Peters passed it to Gavin Miller in the flat, who danced around a defender into the left of the box and booted it into the low right corner of the net, giving the Sea Gulls a 1-0 advantage.
• SU outshot Randolph-Macon 6-1 over the rest of the first half but couldn't get another past Zach Fontenot, and the match went into the break with the visitors up by the slimmest margin.
• After nearly half an hour of deadlocked second-period action, the Sea Gulls finally broke through again in the 73rd minute. Ethan Dolezal took a perfect pass to the right side of the box and flicked it left to a wide-open Dale Gordon, who powered it into the left corner to double Salisbury's lead, 2-0.
• Randolph-Macon got one back in the 83rd minute as Jake Hall set up Kodi Tannor for a goal to make it 2-1.
• The Yellow Jackets failed to capitalize on a corner moments later, and the Sea Gulls controlled possession for the final seven minutes to salt away the 2-1 triumph.
