Malone comes through late, Sea Gulls beat Gophers
TOWSON, Md. - The Salisbury University men’s soccer team beat Capital Athletic Conference opponent Goucher College for the 10th straight time (dating back to 1998) on Wednesday afternoon with a 1-0 shutout. This is the ninth time the Sea Gulls have shutout the Gophers in the past 10 matches.

Salisbury (7-2-1, 3-2 CAC) broke the scoreless tie in the 83rd minute with an unassisted goal off the foot of forward Nick Malone past Goucher goalie Tom Feuerstein (14 saves). The goal was the sophomore’s team-leading sixth score of the season.

SU senior goalkeeper Scott McGuire (four saves) got the start and earned his fifth win of the year along with his second shutout.

The Gulls dominated the shot taking in the second half with 17 shots compared to only three by the Gophers (6-6, 2-3 CAC). Senior T.J. Nairn and the rest of the Salisbury defense did not give up any shots on goal in the second half.

The match was Salisbury’s first match away from home since September 10. The Sea Gulls stay on the road and take on the University of Mary Washington at 3 p.m., Saturday, October 7, in a CAC match.
