York Men's Soccer Scores The Only Goal Early To Win Third-Straight CAC Championship

York Men's Soccer Scores The Only Goal Early To Win Third-Straight CAC Championship

With Taylor Brummitt's third-minute tally, the York College men's soccer team captured the 2011 Capital Athletic Conference Tournament Championship with a 1-0 victory over host #17 Salisbury, Saturday afternoon. The Spartans, who improve to 11-5-5, win their third straight CAC title and gain the league's automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament. The Sea Gulls drop to 13-3-3 on the season.

Brummitt tallied the game-winner just 2:36 into the contest as his fifth goal of the season proved quite a meaningful one. Along the right side of the field, Justin Facer threw the ball into Chris Weaver as the Spartan forward made a move to turn and get to the end line with the ball.

Weaver then knocked a low near-post service back above the six-yard box. Brummitt, who has now scored in each of York's three CAC Tournament matches this season, got himself to the service approximately seven yards from goal. Redirecting it on an angle, across the face of the Salisbury goal, Brummitt's one-timed attempt tucked inside the far left post for the eventual game-winner.

Spartan goalkeeper Ethan Kavanagh put together an exceptional performance, especially in the second half. The senior netminder recorded his seventh shuout of the season York's 10th overall this year.

With this year's victory, the Spartans advance to the NCAA Tournament for a seventh straight season.
