Salisbury, Md. - Two second-half goals propelled the Capital University men's soccer team to a 3-0 shutout of St. Mary's College of Maryland Sunday afternoon in the final day of action at the Elmer Lord Memorial Classic hosted by Salisbury University.

In the second half, D. McCarthy and S. McCarthy traded places for Capital's second goal as D. McCarthy placed the ball into the bottom left corner at 61:56 off of a pass from S. McCarthy who sent in from the right side.  Junior Ian Warmbrodt (Wadsworth, Ohio) finished a feed from S. McCarthy at 86:49 for the final tally of the match.

The Crusaders finished with 21 shots (13 on goal) and seven corner kicks, while St. Mary's took nine (four on goal) and had two corner kicks.
