St. Mary's City, Md. – The 2013 season came to a close for the St. Mary's College of Maryland men's soccer team Wednesday afternoon, ending the season with a 3-0 Capital Athletic Conference loss to league newcomer, Christopher Newport University.

The Seahawks completed this year's action with a 5-10-2 (2-6-0 CAC) record, posting a team 1.85 GAA and collecting six shutouts for the season.

Christopher Newport (12-5-1, 6-2-0 CAC) did all of its scoring in the first half as three different Captains found the back of the net. CNU outshot St. Mary's, 16-2, in the first 45 minutes while earning a 3-0 corner kick margin.
