Box Score

Ashland, Va. - Freshman midfielder Brian Payne (Baltimore, Md./Calvert Hall) guided the St. Mary's College of Maryland men's soccer team to a 2-1 road victory over Randolph-Macon College Thursday afternoon in non-conference action.  Payne notched a season-high three points on a goal and an assist as he netted his second game-winning goal in as many games.

The Seahawks (5-6-4) have now won two in a row and look forward to extending that streak to three matches next Wednesday, October 22 when St. Mary's hosts Christopher Newport University for non-conference play at 3:00.

St. Mary's first goal came off a give-and-go between Payne and senior defender Chris Madrigal (Dunkirk, Md./Northern) as Payne gave the ball and Madrigal went to goal for his second score of the season at 7:20.

SMCM maintained its 1-0 lead until the 80th minute when senior midfielder Scott Landolt (Ellicott City, Md./Glenelg) connected on a cross from freshman midfielder Tyler Cornelio (Alexandria, Va./T.C. Williams) for the equalizer.

And just when it seemed like the Seahawks were headed for their fifth overtime match of the season, Payne came through with his second goal of the season as he put the finishing touches on a pass from senior forward Benard Agyingi (Baltimore, Md./Dunbar) with just under three minutes left in the game.

Randolph-Macon got the short end of the stick in this game despite outshooting the Hawks, 20-14, and posting a slight 3-2 edge in corner kicks.

Freshman Dan Gressang (Bowie, Md./Bishop McNamara) registered eight saves in improving to 3-2-3 on the season.

Sophomore Jason DePre (Sicklerville, N.J./Winslow) picked up seven stops in the loss.
