OWINGS MILLS, Md. - Stevenson men's soccer
junior Tyler King (Parkville/Calvert Hall) scored
twice and sophomore Ryan Flannelly (Middlesex,
N.J./Middlesex) made five saves as the Mustangs posted
their sixth consecutive win with a 3-0 victory in the first round
of the 2009 CAC Men's Soccer Championship Saturday at Caves
Athletics Complex.
The win sends fourth-seeded Stevenson (11-8) to the CAC
semifinals for the second time in the last three years where it
will face top-seed and defending champion Salisbury.
In Saturday's other first round contest, Duke Mensah-Abrampah
scored both goals, including the second in the second overtime as
sixth-seeded Mary Washington held off third-seeded Marymount (Va.),
2-1.
King's two goals and career-high four points extended his
scoring streak to four-straight games where he has totaled four
goals and 12 points.
Both of King's goals were unassisted as a result on one-on-one
moves in which he dribbled in and beat the Wolverine defense. His
first came in the 22nd minute and proved to be the game-winner,
giving Stevenson a 1-0 lead it would take into halftime.
The Mustangs' 1-0 lead could have been larger as they held a
10-1 advantage in shots, but Wesley keeper Nick Talarico made three
saves and six shots were wide of the net despite quality scoring
chances.
Neither team could find the back of the net for most of the
second half until King scored his second in the 79th minute to put
Stevenson in front 2-0.
Sophomore Kyle Baker (Mitchellville/Bowie)
added his sixth of the year and his second in an as many penalty
kick attempts to add a second insurance goal and cap the
scoring at 3-0.
The Mustangs finished with a 19-6 margin in shots in a
physical contest that saw 22 total fouls, four yellow cards
and one red card.
Talarico finished with six saves for the Wolverines (10-9) while
Flannelly earned his fourth shutout.
