The C. Milton Wright boys soccer team made it a clean sweep for the Mustangs at Tuesday night's UCBAC soccer championships.
Following up the girls 4-0 win, the boys also won a shutout, blanking Havre de Grace, 2-0, on the turf of Bel Air High School's Bobcat Stadium.
The Mustangs win gave them a third title in the conference's eight years of existence and continued the streak of the Chesapeake (upper) Division champion winning the conference title. The Mustangs also won in 2005 and 2008.
Havre de Grace, the Susquehanna (lower) Division champ, was making its first appearance in the title game.
Dakota Stern netted the first half goal, unassisted, with 3:42 left in the first half.
Stern played a loose ball that was looped in from 30 yards out. Havre de Grace keeper James Antonoplos, who had a busy first half with seven saves, tried to corral the ball, but Stern got his head on it and slid it past the arms of Antonoplos.
The Mustangs added the insurance goal with less than three minutes to play in the second half. Andy LeBrun was credited with the goal after a bit of a scramble in front of the Warriors goal.
Antonoplos finished the night with 11 saves, while CMW goalie Colin Miller made three.
Miller's best save came on Havre de Grace's best shot. Warrior midfielder Austin Sylvester hit a sinking drive from 45 yards out with 16:00 left in the second half, trying to catch Miller off his line. Miller scrambled back, making the save as he fell backward onto the ground.
The game got a little rough with 13:00 left to play. One player from each team drew a yellow card after a brief confrontation that wasn't allowed to escalate any further.
Third straight title
The CMW girls overcame a flat start at Tuesday evening's UCBAC soccer championship game to knock off the Rising Sun Tigers, 4-0, and capture their third consecutive conference title.
With the victory, the Mustangs (10-2 overall), who outscored their Chesapeake Division opponents 22-0 en route to a perfect 6-0 record, have taken six of the eight UCBAC crowns that have been contested so far.
CMW's first proper scoring opportunity came in 11 minutes into the contest, when Angela Kuhn sent an in-swing corner kick over the Rising Sun goalkeeper's head and across the goal mouth, but the lunging Kathy Kammerer was unable to get her left foot on the ball and it skipped out of bounds.
Less than a minute after Kuhn's corner kick, Kammerer sent a through ball to Megan Frailer, who was being held onside by the Rising Sun sweeper. Frailer touched the ball once to shed the Tiger defender and unleashed a hard left-foot shot from 15 yards out, but her attempt went just wide of the right post.
Frailer was at it again in the games 17th minute, blasting a shot with her right foot from just past the 12-yard hash, but the ball went wide left this time.
Rising Sun had two fine scoring chances halfway through the first half, twice getting one-on-one opportunities with CMW keeper Stacy Venanzi, but both times the Tiger ball-handler rushed her shot and came up short.
After wrestling control back from the Susquehanna Division champs, the Mustangs put up their first tally with 14 minutes left in the first half. Kuhn got the rebound on a failed Rising Sun clearance kick at the top of the box, found a clear shot and ripped the ball into the low left side, past Rising Sun's diving goalkeeper.
Six minutes after the Mustangs' opening tally, Frailer took a pass just inside the penalty box, cut once to the center of the field to drop a defender and sent a shot to the same spot Kuhn had hit, putting CMW up 2-0.
The Chesapeake champs wasted little time distancing themselves in the second half, scoring twice in the opening two minutes. Alyssa Austen scored a short-range goal at the 38:30 mark and 20 seconds later Liz Burgee took a midfield through pass, blasted past the defender marking her and buried a 12-yard shot with her right foot to close out scoring for the evening.
