Dover, Del. - Junior forward
Misha Simon's (Silver Spring, Md./Good Counsel)
penalty kick in the 45th minute proved to be the only goal that the
St. Mary's College of Maryland men's soccer team needed to collect
a 1-0 victory in their Capital Athletic Conference opener at Wesley
College on Saturday evening.
With Wesley fouling the Seahawks (2-2-1, 1-0 CAC) inside the
box, Simon was called upon to take the PK at
44:06.
SMCM's sophomore Paul Spranklin (Columbia,
Md./Oakland Mills) finished the evening with six saves and made
five of them in the first half alone, including a diving save to
his right on a shot by freshman forward Thomas
Yolain (Windsor Mill, Md./Randallstown) from 25 yards out.
St. Mary's edged the Wolverines 15-12 in shots and 3-2 in corner
kicks.
Sophomore Nick Talarico (Little Egg Harbor,
N.J./Pinelands) recorded four saves in the loss for Wesley (2-3,
0-1 CAC).
The Seahawks will look to keep the win streak going next
Wednesday, September 17 when St. Mary's hosts the University of
Mary Washington in another conference match-up at Seahawk
Stadium. Mary Washington (2-2-1) is currently ranked fifth in
the NSCAA South Region poll.
