ST. MARY'S CITY, Md.--The St. Mary's College (Md.) Seahawks (4-9-1, 2-3 CAC) scored a pair of goals in the final 19:40 to upend the Hood College men's soccer team (6-6, 2-3 CAC) Wednesday afternoon in a Capital Athletic Conference matchup.

First-year Eric Diehl got the Blazers on the board in the 33rd minute when he pocketed his fourth goal of the season. Diehl almost struck again 2:24 later but Paul Spranklin corralled the attempt. The Seahawk netminder denied junior Chris Mendez as well in the 37th minute and the Blazers clung to the 1-0 edge at halftime.

Sophomore keeper Will Lane, who made a pair of saves in the opening stanza, was tested twice more in the first 21 minutes of the second half and kept the Seahawks out of the net each time. But in the 71st minute, there was little Lane could do with George Gusack's attempt, which ricocheted off the near post and caromed into the net to knot the score at 1-1.

Lane turned aside two more Seahawk attempts before Gusack struck again in the 84th minute. SMCM's Ted Scharfenberg fed Gusack who chipped the ball over Lane's head and into the back of the net for what would prove to be the game-winner. Junior J.T. Smaldore fired Hood's only other shot of the afternoon but it sailed high of the target.

SMCM outshot the Blazers 19-8 and attempted three corners. Lane finished with seven saves while Spranklin posted three stops.

Hood, which slipped one spot to fifth place in the CAC standings, returns home to host the eighth-place Stevenson University Mustangs at 3 p.m. at Thomas Athletic Field.
