September 27, 2006 -
The CSM men's soccer team shutout Cecil 4-0

Gross tallied two goals, and Guil Costa and Justin Daniels also found the
back of the net. A.J. Sweeney had two assists, while Dan Funk and Mike
Carnucci had one assist each.
Justin Daniels opened the scoring just over five minutes into the game,
receiving a brilliant pass in front of the goal from Dan Funk, and then beat
diving Seahawk goalkeeper Jared Price to give the Hawks a 1-0 lead with
39:31 left in the first half.
Brandon Gross added the next two goals for CSM (8-2, 4-0) to put the Hawks
up 3-0. On the first goal, Gross received a long pass on the right
side from A.J. Sweeney, eluded two Cecil defenders and found the back of the
net from 8 yards out with 25:24 left. Just four minutes later the
fourth leading scorer in the country struck again, as Mike Carnucci hit
Gross with a long pass and Brandon threaded his way through the Seahawk
defense to score with 21:42 left in the half.
Guil Costa scored the final Hawk goal with 9:51 left. Costa, eighth in
the country in scoring, received a long pass from A.J. Sweeney and outraced
the Cecil defenders to put CSM in front 4-0.
There was no scoring in the second half, as the Hawks outshot Cecil (1-3)
7-2 for the game. The stout CSM defense helped Dominque Washington,
and Bobby Slater, who played the final 20 minutes, earn a shut-out.
CSM will play at Rockville tomorrow for a key MDJUCO game, and then travel
to North Carolina this weekend to face Cape Fear and #12 Louisburg.
The Hawks next home game will be Sunday, Oct. 15 when they face Essex (NJ)
