Goalie Nehman (Jr. – Odenton, Md.) posted his third career shutout, recording seven saves to help the Sea Gulls pick up a late 1-0 win at DeSales on Saturday. The clean sheet marked Nehman's first action of the season and helped SU improve to 7-1-1 to start the year.

Slot man Belizaire (Sr. – Cambridge, Md.) turned in an all-around showcase in the Sea Gulls' 47-10 thrashing of Catholic on Saturday, racking up 184 all-purpose yards and returning two punts to the house for touchdowns of 50 and 64 yards, respectively.
