There's nothing more certain in life than
Carter Berg and/or
Sammy Amorose accounting for a goal or two each time they touch the field. The pair did just that again in No. 9 Mary Washington men soccer's 3-1 victory over Marymount on Sunday afternoon in Fredericksburg, Va.
Berg accounted for the first goal, which came less than five minutes into Sunday's contest, before Amorose scored in the eighth minute, then again in the 87th minute to secure the Eagles' fourth victory of the season. The pair have accounted for 11 of UMW's (4-0) 15 goals this season throughout the first four contests.
The Eagles' first goal came when
Joel Albritton found Berg on a cross in front of the goal for a 1-0 lead. Then
Jordy Santana rebounded a saved shot before passing the ball off to Amorose, who then scored his fifth goal of the year.
Marymount then countered in the 58th minute to draw a goal closer, 2-1, before Amorose dribbled through traffic to score his sixth goal of the season in the 87th minute to cement the Eagles' 3-1 victory.
Amorose and Berg did the heavy lifting for UMW on Sunday with six shots apeice, but it was Santana,
Aidan Shell,
Nelsar Castillo, Albritton, and
Gabe Francesconi, who continued to apply the offensive pressure as the five recorded two shots each, while
Julian Schmugge,
Blake Hoskins and
Michael Lenhard recorded one shot each.
Eagles' keeper
Freddy Rogers faced six total shots, recording a pair of saves, while UMW totaled 25 shots with 10 of them being on goal. Mary Washington continued to dominate on the offensive half, recording nine corners to the Saints' two.
The Eagles are back in action on Friday night at City Stadium in Richmond, Va in the Preston Hirten Memorial Classic in a matchup with Mount Union. First touch is set for 5 p.m.
