St. Mary's City, Md. - The St. Mary's College of Maryland men's soccer team recorded its second draw in a row Saturday afternoon as the Seahawks and Stevenson University played to a 2-2 tie in Capital Athletic Conference action following what one could call an intense match.

This afternoon's contest featured an on-field altercation that nearly cleared the benches, 26 fouls, and three yellow cards along with a few no-call hand balls.

The Seahawks (2-4-3, 1-1-1 CAC) flew out to a 2-0 lead at 15:56 behind a pair from senior Cyrus Albertson (Chevy Chase, Md./St. John's College [D.C.]).  Albertson's first goal resulted from a long ball sent in by sophomore midfielder Keith Hines (Hollywood, Md./Leonardtown) which Albertson then chipped over the head of senior Adam Wiatrowski (Baltimore, Md./Patapsco) as Wiatrowski came out at 6:58.  Albertson's second tally of the game was like déjà vu but this time, freshman forward Ted Scharfenberg (Holbrook, N.Y./St. John the Baptist) kicked in the long pass from the 50-yard line.

Stevenson (3-6-2, 0-1-1 CAC) was awarded a penalty kick at 28:59 when sophomore forward Tyler King (Parkville, Md./Calvert Hall) was taken down in the box.  Sophomore midfielder Sean Scarselletta (Severna Park, Md./Severna Park) buried the PK into the lower left corner to cut St. Mary's lead to 2-1.

The game's equalizer was an own goal with 16.7 seconds left in regulation as the Seahawk defense attempted to clear out Scarselletta's cross but the ball went off SMCM sophomore defender Amir Reda's (Odenton, Md./DeMatha Catholic) head into the upper left corner, sending the game into overtime.

St. Mary's outshot the Mustangs, 4-0, in overtime but the Seahawks were unable to capitalize as freshman Ryan Flannelly (Middlesex, N.J./Middlesex) came up with a pair of saves.

Freshman Dan Gressang (Bowie, Md./Bishop McNamara) continued his strong play in goal for the Seahawks as Gressang registered three saves.

After allowing both goals and not making a save, Wiatrowski was relieved by Flannelly at the 15:56-minute mark.  Flannelly finished the contest with two stops.

The Seahawks rattled off 23 shots, including 13 in the second half, while Stevenson had 10.  The Mustangs held the advantage in corner kicks, 6-3.

St. Mary's will return to action next Tuesday, September 30 when the Seahawks welcome former CAC opponent, Catholic University, to Seahawk Stadium for non-conference action at 4:00.
