UMW Men's Soccer Beat Salisbury in CAC Semifinals

Junior David Heller scored the game's lone goal on an Omar Ismail assist at 105:30 to lift the fifth-seeded University of Mary Washington men's soccer team past top-seeded Salisbury University, 1-0, in the Capital Athletic Conference Tournament semifinals on Thursday in Salisbury. The Eagles advance to the CAC Championship for the first time since 2006.

The Eagles led in shots, 14-8, while Salisbury led in corner kicks, 8-3. Sophomore goalie Tyler Back set a new UMW school record with his 10th shutout of the year, making five saves.
