Seahawks Men’s Soccer Falls on the Road

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. – The St. Mary's College of Maryland men's soccer team suffered their third loss of the season Wednesday afternoon (Oct. 19). St. Mary's College (9-3-4) came up on the wrong end of a 3-0 non-conference decision to the University of Mary Washington (8-3-2).
 
How It Happened
  • Josh Kirkland produced two unassisted goals in a two-minute span to put host Mary Washington up 2-0 in the 24th minute.
  • The Seahawk defense kept UMW off the scoreboard for the remainder of the first half as junior goalie Matthew Kopsidas (Rockville, Md./T.S. Wootton) made four saves in the first 45 minutes.
  • In the second frame, the play was more even between the two sides with Mary Washington holding a 5-2 shot margin in comparison to its 10-1 advantage in the first half.
  • The Eagles added a third in the 72nd minute when Jordy Santana finished off a pass from Diego Guzman.
  • Junior midfielder Luke Duswalt (Leonardtown, Md./Leonardtown) generated a scoring opportunity for St. Mary's in the 80th minute but Eagle goalie Griffin Hemmendinger denied the shot.
 
Inside the Box Score
  • Mary Washington posted a 15-3 shot advantage and a 7-4 margin in corner kicks.
  • The Seahawks edged the hosts, 3-2, in corners in the first half while two of their three shots were on target.
