Williamson Brace Leads St. Mary’s College Men’s Soccer at Salisbury

SALISBURY, Md. – Senior forward Thomas Williamson (Ellicott City, Md./Marriotts Ridge) continued his scoring ways Wednesday afternoon as Williamson scored twice in the St. Mary's College of Maryland men's soccer team's non-conference road win. St. Mary's College (6-1-4) extends its unbeaten streak to nine games (6-0-3) with a 3-2 victory over former conference rival Salisbury University (1-6-2).
 
How It Happened
  • Salisbury claimed a 1-0 lead in the first half thanks to Adrian Gonzalez's goal in the 30th minute off an assist by Ryan Kegley.
  • The Sea Gulls outshot St. Mary's, 10-3, in the first half but only two of their shots were on target.
  • Two of St. Mary's three first-half shots were on goal in the 19th and 28th minutes but Ryan Sock was up to the challenge and Salisbury headed into halftime with the one-goal lead.
  • The Seahawks tallied all three goals in the second half on four shots.
  • Williamson knotted the game at 1-1 as he finished off a pass from first-year midfielder Jack Nelson (Ellicott City, Md./River Hill) right in front of the goal at 58:29.
  • Less than two minutes later, sophomore forward Elliot Hodges (Rockville, Md./Avalon) handed St. Mary's a 2-1 lead as Hodges one-timed a volley from senior defender Evan Marx (Laurel, Md./Meade) into the right side of the goal.
  • Williamson then added an insurance marker in the 81st minute as he put away sophomore forward Alex Ochman's (Rockville, Md./T.S. Wootton) pass from the endline at the PK spot.
  • Sean Barwick pulled Salisbury within one in the 86th minute.
  • The Sea Gulls gave it one final go in the 89th minute with a high header by Joseph Ennas but junior Matthew Kopsidas (Rockville, Md./T.S. Wootton) handled without incident.
