Box score

OWINGS MILLS, Md. - Mary Washington's Duke Mensah-Abrampah scored the game's only goal in the 49th minute as the Eagles won a tough, physical game with a 1-0 victory over Stevenson Wednesay afternoon in a CAC contest at Caves Athletics Complex.

The loss was just the second in the last eight games at home for the Mustangs (5-6, 1-2 CAC) and second this season after they started the year 4-0.

Meanwhile, the Eagles (8-3, 4-0 CAC), ranked 10th in this week's NSCAA South Atlantic Region rankings, remained atop the CAC standings, a half-game ahead of York (Pa.) and one in front of Salisbury.

Wednesday's game featured 25 total fouls and two yellow cards and was scoreless for the first 48 minutes until Mensah-Abrampah headed a sweeping cross off the foot of Ryan Taibl from the right corner that cleared the width of the penalty box inside the far post.

It was Mensah-Abrampah's third goal of the season and first game-winner. It was also the second time that Taibl had been involved in a game-winner this month after he scored in the 98th minute of Mary Washington's 3-2 home win over McDaniel on September 6.

The Eagles held a slight edge in shots and a 9-3 advantage in corner kicks.

Sophomore Ryan Flannelly (Middlesex, N.J./Middlesex) finished with five saves for the Mustangs while the team was credited with a sixth save in the sixth minute after Brooks Kyker (Westminster/Westminster) prevented the Eagles from scoring on the doorstep early.
