Melvin Bonilla, Ahmedin Salcinovic and Matt Washko scored a goal each for the Hornets (2-0). Assists were credited to Washko, Bonilla, Nick Veros, Reilly Gokey and Christian Uribe.
“Overall I feel as if we took a bit of a step back tonight,” Salisbury coach Matt Parrish said. “We are having a difficult time understanding our roles and connecting as a team. I credit some of that to South, but I feel as if a great deal of our issues are internal. We have little time to work on it though. School starts on Monday and perennial power Trinity comes for a visit Monday night.
Salisbury’s jayvees will open the doubleheader with Trinity with a 5 p.m game.The varsity teams will play at 6:30 p.m.
