Box Score

St. Mary's City, Md. - Senior Mikael Tigrett (Hagerstown, Md./North Hagerstown) netted the would-be game-winning goal at 83:17, giving the St. Mary's College of Maryland men's soccer team a 2-1 Capital Athletic Conference victory over Marymount (Va.) University on Saturday afternoon and snapping their two-game losing streak.

Tigrett took a quick feed from senior defender Trevor Zarker (Takoma Park, Md./Sandy Spring Friends) inside the box and sent the ball just inside the left post.

After a scoreless first half, the Seahawks' sophomore forward Chad Henry (Silver Spring, Md./Sandy Spring Friends) notched the game's first goal at 52:19 when Henry chipped in a ball from the right side of the box into the left side of the goal for a 1-0 St. Mary's lead.

It would be a short-lived lead as the Saints (0-3, 0-1 CAC) scored just under four minutes later.  Following a Marymount throw-in, the ball was loose inside the box and when a St. Mary's defender went to clear it, the ball ricocheted off junior midfielder Andrew Stearns' (Pembroke, Mass./Cardinal Spellman) body into the goal for the equalizer.

St. Mary's (2-2, 1-0 CAC) finished with 15 shots on the day and held Marymount to only three in the first half.  The Saints went on to fire off 10 for the match.  Corner kicks were 4-2 in the Seahawks' advantage.

Senior Rick Besore (Upper Marlboro, Md./DeMatha Catholic) came up with five saves and one goal allowed in the SMCM win, while freshman William Brahmstedt (Falls Church, Va./Jeb Stuart) turned away five shots as well.

St. Mary's returns to action on Wednesday, September 12 when the Hawks host Swarthmore College who is coached by former Seahawk head men's soccer coach, Eric Wagner.  The game is scheduled for 5:00.  Marymount will travel to Gallaudet University for its next game on September 10.
