Stevenson Men's Soccer Falls At Salisbury, 1-0; Mustangs Will Be 6th Seed In CAC Tournament

Salisbury scored the only goal of the match in the fourth minute to down Stevenson, 1-0, in CAC men's soccer Wednesday.  The setback left Stevenson as the sixth seed, and idle Wesley as the fifth seed, in the upcoming CAC Tournament.

Stevenson will visit two-time defending CAC champion York, the third seed in the tournament, on Saturday for a first-round game.  The winner will play at second-seeded Mary Washington in Tuesday's (11/1) second round.

In the other half of the bracket, fifth-seeded Wesley will play at fourth-seeded Frostburg State on Saturday, with the winner earning a semifinal trip to Salisbury to play the top-seeded regular-season champion Sea Gulls.

The championship game is scheduled for Nov. 5 at the highest-seeded team.

Wednesday at Salisbury, the Sea Gulls came out victorious in its final regular-season game, downing CAC foe Stevenson , 1-0.  Sophomore midfielder Jake Perry opened the game with a goal for the Sea Gulls in the fourth minute of play. Junior midfielder Jimmy Mundy had the ball in the middle of the field and hit a pass into the 18-yard box for Perry, who subsequently slipped the ball past the keeper for the 1-0 advantage. Salisbury (12-2-3, 7-1 CAC) would maintain the lead for the rest of the first half.  Junior goalkeeper John Vnenchak won his eighth match of the season and made three saves in the shutout effort.

In non-conference play, York traveled to N.C. Wesleyan and played to a scoreless draw, Mary Washington dropped a 2-0 decision at Christopher Newport and St. Mary's faltered at Catholic University by a 4-1 count.
