How It Happened

• The Seahawks responded just before halftime as senior forward Adam Kratz (Owings, Md./Northern) fired a shot from the top of the box past Brian Breslin to send both teams into halftime in a 1-1 deadlock.
• Five minutes into the second half, St. Mary's gained a 2-1 lead when first-year defender Will Miller (Middletown, Md./Middletown) headed in junior midfielder Aaron Tanenbaum's (Reno, Nev./Walt Whitman) in-swinging corner kick.
• The Yellow Jackets answered about eight minutes later with a header of their own when Bryan Lutz put the finishing touch on Andrew Griggs' corner kick.
