Salisbury wins both games at Esprit D-III Classic
RALEIGH, N.C. - The Salisbury University men's soccer team finished the Esprit D-III Classic on Sunday afternoon with a 2-0 tournament record thanks to a 1-0 shutout of Capital University.

The two teams were scoreless until the 71st minute when Salisbury freshman Kyle Sterling found the back of the net off an assist from junior midfielder Zach Grubb. The Salisbury, Md., native’s first goal of the season was setup off one of SU’s 12 corner kicks.

Salisbury (3-0-1) took nine shots in the game as Crusader sophomore John Snyder made eights saves in goal for Capital (2-2-1).

The Sea Gulls defeated Eastern Mennonite University on the first day of the tournament this past Friday with a 2-1 victory.

Salisbury now has a week to prepare to host York College, the 8th ranked and defending Capital Athletic Conference champions, on Saturday, September 16th at 2 p.m.

The last time these two teams met was in the 2005 CAC championship game where the Spartans prevailed 1-0 at the SU Soccer Complex. York (2-0-1) has a busy week prior to meeting the Sea Gulls as the Spartans face Hood College and Lynchburg College. The Spartans are coming off a 1-1 tie against top-ranked Messiah College.
