SALISBURY, Md. – The 25th-ranked Salisbury University men's soccer team conceded a late goal to the Christopher Newport University Captains, falling 1-0 on Tuesday afternoon at the Gerry DiBartolo Sea Gull Soccer Complex.
Both sides waited more than 16 minutes to fire a shot during the contest until the Captains (11-2-2) had a chance blocked. The Sea Gulls (12-2-3) put a bid on goal from
Zach Johnson, which was saved, then SU got the best chance of the frame when
Noah Blankensop hit the woodwork in the 27th minute. Shots were tied six apiece at the break.
SU played down a man during the last 15 minutes of the second stanza after receiving a red card. CNU delivered an 80th-minute tally and held Salisbury off the board after making a point-blank save on
David Brunetti three minutes later.
