Bobcats Battle Sea Gulls to 0-0 Draw

A 0-0 draw is not what we wanted, but the tie against Salisbury did put us in a position to lock up a home game for the first round of the CAC playoffs.

Overall it was a pretty even match.  Salisbury had more overall shots, but we led in shots on goal 10-9.  I thought Salisbury did a good job of getting the ball in our box and were dangerous on knock downs and back post runs.

Hassan Mostafa

Hassan Mostafa was clutch in the goal making some big saves on some flighted balls while Mack Naughton was solid in his first start of the season.  Both Sergio Gomez and Deion Hunter were out for the game and Naughton stepped up and played well against a very strong Salisbury front line.

Guy Nabo never quite got going and was hampered by a slight groin injury, but Carvell Akuffo put in a good performance and kept the offense moving.

It probably wasn't the best game of soccer by both teams, but it was a good game and most likely a fair result.

The tie puts us at 10-4-2 overall and 4-2-2 in the CAC.  We will be the #4 seed for the CAC playoffs and will have a home game against either Mary Washington or Christopher Newport.  Wednesday's results will determine the final seedings.
