Men's Soccer Snaps Four-Game Skid With Shutout, 2-0

Box score

ARLINGTON, Va. - Stevenson men's soccer sophomore Ryan Brost (Pennington, N.J./Hopewell Valley) scored the game-winning goal in the 12th minute and sophomore Ryan Flannelly (Middlesex, N.J./Middlesex) made six saves as the Mustangs earned their second CAC victory with a 2-0 win over Marymount (Va.) Saturday night.

The win against the fourth-place Saints snapped a four-game losing streak for the Mustangs (6-8, 2-3 CAC) and moved them into sixth in the conference standings, one game ahead of St. Mary's (Md.) for the final playoff spot. 

Brost picked up his second game-winner and fourth goal of the season in the 12th minute off an assist from junior Tyler King (Parkville/Calvert Hall) to give Stevenson a 1-0 lead. The assist was the first point of the season in 14 games for King who led the team with six goals and 13 points a year ago.

The goal by Brost would prove to be the only one of the game until the 84th minute when sophomore Kyle Baker (Mitchellville/Bowie) added an insurance tally to give the Mustangs their third shutout of the season.

Baker's goal was his fourth of the year, tying him with Brost for second on the team. The two are also tied for second on the team in scoring with nine points each.

Four of Flannelly's six saves came in the first half as he earned his second career shutout.

William Brahmstedt had five saves to lead the Saints (7-5-1, 3-2 CAC).

Stevenson wraps up its three-game road trip with a non-conference contest at Neumann on Wednesday at 4:00 p.m.
