Men’s Soccer stifles Keystone; four Sea Gulls score in win

SALISBURY, Md. – The Salisbury University men's soccer team dominated its match against the Keystone College Giants, holding the visitors without a shot and punching in four goals to claim a 4-0 victory on Saturday afternoon at the Gerry DiBartolo Sea Gull Soccer Complex.

Salisbury (4-2-1) outshot Keystone 24-0 in the contest, firing three shots before earning a corner kick in the seventh minute. Dale Gordon's boot from the corner found Ethan Dolezal in the box to give the hosts an early lead, 1-0.

Keystone (1-7-0) endured a Sea Gull barrage over the ensuing 17 minutes, weathering six Sea Gull corners and three shots before Brady Young found Liam Pierce for a second SU score in the 24th minute, 2-0.

A trio of saves by the Giant net-watcher in the final minutes held the two-goal difference at the break. The Sea Gulls forced a pair of saves and tallied five shots in the opening 22 minutes before a feed from Eric Howard found Cooper Santos in the box for a head-in that extended the advantage to three.

SU's fourth strike came just under 10 minutes later when Adrian Gonzalez connected with David Peters for each Sea Gull's first points of 2024. The hosts fired four more shots in the closing minutes, but Keystone protected the four-goal margin.
