Salisbury (5-1) was down 2-0 nine minutes into the match but was able to regroup.

A spectacular goal by Zanudo, who took a ball out of the air on a full slide put the Hornets ahead. Sukkasem’s cross set up Zanudo.
“That was a very sweet goal,” Salisbury coach Matt Parrish said. “And the first of his varsity career.”
Sukkasem then tacked on an insurance goal to seal victory.
Parrish indicated that Michael Brown, Clint Comadoll, Chrisian Uribe, John Canipe and Turcios played outstanding matches.
“After an inauspicious start, the boys showed incredible grit and determination to stay in the match,” Parrish said. “But there was no negativity and we worked as a unit and fought the last 70 minutes. The highlight was certainly the third goal by Zanudo.”
