Fredericksburg, Va. - One goal
was all that the University of Mary Washington men's soccer team
needed to edge St. Mary's College of Maryland Wednesday afternoon
as the Eagles notched a 1-0 victory in Capital Athletic Conference
action.
Junior midfielder Jae Park (Herndon,
Va./Herndon) netted the would-be game-winner early on in the
match as Park completed a feed from sophomore
forward Will Gallop (Charlottesville,
Va./Charlottesville) at 12:10.
From that point on, it was a defensive battle as both
goalkeepers stood their ground despite the offensive pressure being
thrown at them. Senior Emmett Rutkowski
(Culpeper, Va./Culpeper) notched his second consecutive shutout
with two saves.
The Eagles (5-2, 1-0 CAC), who are ranked ninth in the NSCAA
South Atlantic Region, outshot St. Mary's (2-4, 0-1 CAC) by a 14-8
margin, while corner kicks were dead even at six each.
Junior Paul Spranklin (Columbia, Md./Oakland
Mills) tallied four saves in the loss.
St. Mary's will return to action this Saturday, September 19 as
the Seahawks host Wesley College in another CAC tilt at 2:00 p.m.
