Frostburg, Md. – The St. Mary's College of Maryland men's soccer team played in their fourth consecutive one-goal match Saturday evening, taking an early lead only to fall 2-1 in double overtime at Frostburg State University in Capital Athletic Conference action.

For the second game in a row, the Seahawks staked an early lead in the contest. Junior midfielder Nick Tait (Silver Spring, Md./Sandy Spring Friends School) picked up his 13th goal of the season with an unassisted score at 4:32.

The two sides headed into halftime in a 1-1 draw as first-year forward Guy Nabo (Gaithersburg, Md./Watkins Mills) finished off a pass from junior forward Jonathan Lippitt (Columbia, Md./Hammond) for the equalizer nine seconds before the end of the first half.
