| Freshman Brett Basham |
Wednesday night we faced Mary Washington in a crucial CAC match-up. After dropping points to St. Mary's on Saturday we felt it would be very important to get a win against a very strong UMW team.
The first half was pretty even with few chances for either team. UMW held a slim 6-5 lead in shots as most of the game was being contested in the midfield.
Second half possession began to favor Mary Washington as we began to drop off our pressure and allowed UMW to get their backs forward and they were successful in finding service into their big forwards.
In typical Frostburg style we defended well and looked to get numbers forward in transition. When called upon to make the big save Hassan Mostafa was on point and kept Mary Washington off the board for his seventh shut-out of the season.
With the game winding down we were awarded a corner kick from the right side of the field. After the initial service was contested Mitchell Muise found the ball and played it back out to Nabayee Tesfu who served a great ball back post. Brett Basham made a great run towards the far post and after the ball just missed the head of a charging Rodrigo Valenzuela Basham was able to slide and volley home the winner with 2:30 remaining to play.
