Seahawks Men’s Soccer Rolls Past Penn College with Four Second-Half Goals

ST. MARY'S CITY, Md. – The St. Mary's College of Maryland men's soccer team returned to United East Conference action with a bang Saturday afternoon (Oct. 1). St. Mary's College (7-1-4, 4-0-0 UEC) exploded for four second-half goals to post a 5-1 victory over Penn College (2-6-3, 1-2-1 UEC), extending its unbeaten streak to 10 games (7-0-3).
 
How It Happened
  • Senior forward Thomas Williamson (Ellicott City, Md./Marriotts Ridge) gave the Seahawks a 1-0 lead in the 25th minute when Williamson volleyed a Penn College clear attempt into the far top right corner from outside the left side of the box.
  • The Wildcats responded in kind seven minutes later when Matt Neeson put back the rebound off Nathan Schwartz's shot which senior goalie Liam Delone-Bellsey (Takoma Park, Md./Montgomery Blair) initially saved.
  • The 1-1 draw would remain intact until late in the second half when St. Mary's would unleash four goals in a 15-minute span.
  • Senior forward Zack Glime (Annapolis, Md./Key) broke the 1-1 draw in the 76th minute when Glime one-timed sophomore forward Elliot Hodges' (Rockville, Md./Avalon) cross from the right side.
  • In the 81st minute, sophomore forward Alex Ochman (Rockville, Md./T.S. Wootton) hit the first of his two goals of the afternoon. Ochman received a pass from junior midfielder Lucca Mazzola (Pasadena, Md./Spalding) and took a few dribbles before ripping a shot into the far top right corner from outside the bottom left corner of the penalty box.
  • Hodges landed in the goal column in the 88th minute as he headed in a flick from junior defender Garrett Bridgwater (Leonardtown, Md./Leonardtown) for a 4-1 Seahawk advantage.
  • Ochman delivered the final blow with 16 seconds to go in the game as he stole the ball from the defense and dribbled past three Wildcat defenders before slipping it past Cole Catherman for his second tally of the game.
