St. Mary's City, Md. – The St. Mary's College of Maryland women's soccer team moved into a three-way tie for first in the Capital Athletic Conference standings as the Seahawks scored twice in a one-minute span to notch a 2-0 victory over York College of Pennsylvania Saturday afternoon.

The teams were even on shots at 14 apiece while York (4-8-1, 4-2 CAC) held a 6-4 advantage in corner kicks.  The Spartans attacked feverishly in the first half but St. Mary's counterattacked just as intensely.  However, neither team was able to get a shot on target.

It was more of the same in the second half until the 76th minute when sophomore forward Dani Granholm (Broomfield, Colo./Broomfield) put in a loose ball amidst a mad scramble in front of the goal following a corner kick.

The Seahawks (4-5-1, 4-1 CAC) struck again at 76:22 as sophomore forward Tori Eskay (Damascus, Md./Urbana) slipped a ball through to first-year midfielder Yvonne Latour (Gaithersburg, Md./Quince Orchard) who booted a rocket just underneath the crossbar.

First-year Kelsey Wirtz (Parkton, Md./Hereford) recorded her second shutout of the season with five stops while junior Sarah Spanarkel (Toms River, N.J./Toms River North) picked up five saves in the loss.
