Clendenin’s First Career Goal Propels Seahawks Men’s Soccer Past Shenandoah

SALISBURY, Md. – Junior defender Cooper Clendenin's (Bethesda, Md./Bethesda-Chevy Chase) first collegiate goal came at the right time, lifting the St. Mary's College of Maryland men's soccer team (1-1-1) to their first victory of the 2022 campaign Sunday afternoon (Sep. 4). The Seahawks handed the Shenandoah University Hornets (1-1) a 2-1 setback on the final day of the Elmer Lord Tournament hosted by Salisbury University.
