Flannelly also kept Stevenson within striking distance after saving a penalty kick by Tommy Sangbouasy in the 75th minute.

Meanwhile, the Eagles (4-4, 2-0 CAC) remained atop the conference standings after holding a 21-9 advantage in shots, including a 12-4 margin in the first half.

The Mustangs mustered three shots on goal, two of which came from sophomore Steve Hamilton (Manchester/North Carroll).

Tyler Back made three saves for Mary Washington.
