Goal Scorers
Matthew Kuwik – SMC (75')

How It Happened
 
* A goal by the home team in the 75th minute turned out to be the difference in an evenly played contest.  Matthew Kuwik scored an unassisted goal for the Seahawks to hold a 1-0 advantage with just over 15 minutes left to play in the second half.
 
* Abington fired off four shots in the final 10 minutes, however just one of those shots were on-target.  Sophomore Frankie Rafferty ripped a shot in the 87th minute but his potential game-tying shot was stopped by the Seahawks keeper, Zach Reed, to preserve the shutout.
 
* St. Mary's held a slight edge on total shots, 13-12, and on corner kicks, 5-4, for the game.
