Box Score

Arlington, Va. - The St. Mary's College of Maryland men's soccer team erased a two-goal deficit but settled once again for a tie as the Seahawks battled Marymount (Va.) University to a 2-2 draw in Capital Athletic Conference action Saturday night.

The match was scoreless until the 41st minute when senior midfielder Andrew Stearns (Pembroke, Mass./Cardinal Spellman) put one past freshman Dan Gressang (Bowie, Md./Bishop McNamara) to give Marymount (3-6-3, 2-1-1 CAC) a 1-0 lead, heading into halftime.  Junior forward Paul Decker (Silver Spring, Md./Wheaton) assisted on the play.

Stearns struck again in the second half at 64:19 as he finished a feed from freshman midfielder Mario Rojas (Alexandria, Va./Hayfield).

Less than four minutes later, senior forward Benard Agyingi (Baltimore, Md./Dunbar) put the Seahawks (2-5-4, 1-1-2 CAC) within one with his third goal of the season.

Freshman forward Ted Scharfenberg (Holbrook, N.Y./St. John the Baptist) netted the equalizer at 83:53 with his first collegiate goal as Scharfenberg redirected a rebound off the crossbar following a direct free kick taken by senior defender Chris Madrigal (Dunkirk, Md./Northern).

Neither squad fired a shot in the first 10-minute overtime period, but St. Mary's then outshot the Saints, 3-1 in the final OT stanza.  However, two shots were off the mark and sophomore William Brahmstedt (Falls Church, Va./JEB Stuart) denied the other.

The Seahawks posted a narrow 14-11 margin in shots, while having a commanding 11-3 advantage in corner kicks.

Gressang finished the night with five stops for St. Mary's, while Brahmstedt also had five saves for his team.

St. Mary's will be back in action next Wednesday, October 8 when the Seahawks play host to Hood College at 4:00 in another conference tilt.
