McDaniel eliminated with 3-2 loss to Red Devils

CARLISLE, Pa. - Bryan Gilmartin scored twice to lead Dickinson to a 3-2 Centennial Conference (CC) men's soccer victory over McDaniel on Wednesday.

With the loss, the Green Terror (7-8-1, 3-4-1 CC) was eliminated from postseason contention.

Gilmartin staked Dickinson to a lead in the 18th minute.

It remained a 1-0 game until an own goal at the 60:25 mark stretched the lead to 2-0.

Adam Sommers (Frostburg, Md./Beall) finished a Matthew Gillen (Eldersburg, Md./Liberty) assist just over eight minutes later to slice the deficit to 2-1.

Gilmartin stretched the lead back to two with 8:18 to play before Marrio Davis (Baltimore, Md./Friends School of Baltimore) quickly responded to make it a 3-2 game in the 84th minute.

The Green Terror had a pair of chances in the final four minutes sail just wide of the net.

McDaniel finished with an 18-16 advantage in shots.

Robert Hollasch (Marriottsville, Md./Liberty), made four saves for the Green Terror.

McDaniel concludes the season at home against Gettysburg on Saturday. Game time is 1:30 p.m.
