ST. MARY'S CITY, Md. – The Salisbury University men’s soccer team suffered its first Capital Athletic Conference loss of the season on Saturday afternoon as St. Mary's (Md.) defeated the Sea Gulls, 2-1, in overtime in front of a crowd of 500. The loss snapped a five game win streak for the Sea Gulls.

The Sea Gulls (9-4-1, CAC 5-1) started the scoring off in the 18th minute when sophomore Alex Hargrove scored off a feed from Senior Zach Grubb.

The Seahawks (7-7-0, CAC 4-3) quickly answered in the 24th minute of the game as SMC was awarded a penalty kick. Alex Pyzik seized the opportunity and buried the ball in the back of the net to tie the score at 1-1.

The game was back and forth throughout the remainder of regulation as both squads couldn't score to send the game into an extra frame. In the 100th minute SMC's Misha Simon headed in a direct kick from Pyzik which proved to be the game winner.
