| The Game Story: | |||||
| Salisbury, MD - The No.1-ranked Salisbury University men's lacrosse team took a huge step toward a third straight NCAA Division III national championship Sunday afternoon at Sea Gull Stadium as the Sea Gulls came from behind and knocked off No.6 Roanoke College, 13-11, in front of 1,019 fans to earn a return trip to Philadelphia next Sunday for the 2005 championship game. They captured the Semifinal victory by overcoming the pressure of being behind in the fourth quarter. SU was led by a pair of midfielders who would not let their team lose. Not only did the Sea Gulls (19-0) earn a trip back to the championship game against Middlebury at Lincoln Financial Field at noon Sunday, they did so while setting the all-time NCAA all-division record for consecutive wins. SU, which has not lost a game since April 10, 2003, won its 48 consecutive contest, breaking the national record, which Salisbury set in 1996. Middlebury (17-1), a 15-13 winner over Nazareth on Sunday, won't be any easy feat for the Gulls. The Panthers will be making their sixth national championship game appearance in the last seven years. The title game will be televised by CSTV (College Sports Television). Salisbury senior midfielder Justin Smith (Annapolis, MD/St. Vincent Pallotti) and sophomore midfielder Matt Dasinger (Reisterstown, MD/Franklin) combined for eight of the team's 13 goals as the Sea Gulls were forced to come from behind in the fourth quarter - something they haven't had to do this season. "We did a great job of possessing the ball today," Salisbury Head Coach Jim Berkman said. "We did a good job of finishing and then when we had the lead late, we executed the two-minute game at the end." Roanoke (15-3), which has dropped two of its three losses to Salisbury this season, had obviously scouted the Sea Gulls wells after losing 22-12 earlier in the season. After falling behind 3-0 in the first 3:25 of the contest on a pair of goals by Smith and a man-down goal by junior Jimmy Creighten (Huntington, NY/Huntington), the Maroons broke on the scoreboard at the 10:32 mark when freshman Matt Duke slipped the ball past SU senior goalie Dan Korpon (Annapolis, MD/Severna Park). The Sea Gulls then appeared as if they were going to break the game open when junior Mike Hurley (Cambridge, MD/Cambridge-SD) and Dasinger scored in a span of 1:09 to give SU a 5-1 lead with 6:10 remaining in the opening quarter. But Roanoke continued to fight back. Duke scored his second goal of the game with 4:42 left in the opening stanza and Dan Reed added one early in the second, followed by a pair of goals each by Zack Thomas and Chris Keating. The 5-0 run by the Maroons over a span of 8:43 of the quarter gave Roanoke a 7-6 lead at intermission and quieted the hometown crowd. But as they have all season long, the Sea Gulls battled back. Smith (5g) scored a pair of man-up goals in the second half and stingy defense by Salisbury enabled the two-time defending national champs to regain the lead, 8-7, heading into the final 15 minutes. Neither team was unable to gain momentum in the first seven minutes of the fourth period, but it was the Sea Gulls who turned on the afterburners. Senior midfielder Casey Olejniczak (Brighton, MI/St. Mary's) scored an unassisted goal with 7:45 remaining to tie the score and Dasinger scored his third goal of the game and 15th of the season just 33 seconds later to give SU the lead for good. Junior Dan Boyer (Millersville, MD/Mt. St. Joseph's), who was smothered most of the day, iced the game with 3:30 left taking one of six Chris Phillips' assists and putting the ball in the back of the net for his team-leading 69th goal of the year. "(Roanoke) did a good job against Boyer, but a lot of other people had great opportunities for us," Berkman added. Korpon picked up his 19th consecutive victory in goal for Salisbury, recording 10 saves. Matt Madalon (15-3) took the setback for Roanoke, finishing with 14 saves. Thomas, Matt Duke and Adam Leahy each had a pair of goals to lead Roanoke. |
