The University of Mary Washington men's soccer team fell to Salisbury on Saturday afternoon in Fredericksburg, Va., 2-0, after a pair of second-half goals.
The Eagles came out in the first half and played the Sea Gulls evenly, as Salisbury only outshot UMW by a pair of goals, 6-4. The Eagles had three solid chances to put the ball in the back of the net, as Michael Lenhard had a shot saved just four minutes into the game.
In the 31st minute, Christian Rodriguez put a ball on net, but that was also saved by the Salisbury keeper. Seven minutes later, Rutley Heniemann had a shot that was also saved by the keeper.
In the second half, Salisbury controlled possession, taking 13 shots while the Eagles had just four. The Sea Gulls had a chance on eight consecutive corner kicks midway through the second half and finally punched a goal through in the 62nd minute. The Sea Gulls then scored once more in the 82nd minute to put the game away.
The Eagles' best chance came just a few seconds into the half when Elliot Berg's header was saved by the keeper.
UMW is back in action on Wednesday at Roanoke. First touch is set for 4:30 p.m.
