CNU goalkeeper Zach Pedini picked up a pair of solo shutouts in two complete game efforts against N.C. Wesleyan and Virginia Wesleyan. The Captains defense has rivaled the hot start of the offense, by holding opponents to just two goals this season (0.50 GAA), while allowing just 15 shots on-goal all season ...

Salisbury's Robert Fiackos posted a win and a tie last week, surrendering just one goal while notching four saves over the weekend. The 110-minute shutout against Bridgewater was the first solo shutout of Fiackos' career. Nick Carrington scored the game-winning goal against Gustavus Adolphus on Sunday, heading home an effort from Brooks Zentgraf. The tally was Carrington's first of his career ... Southern Virginia's Tyler Mcelwee scored a goal in each game last week, and leads the team in shots (12) this season ...
