The Salisbury Hornets conceded a late goal and tied the Mooresville Blue Devils 1-1 in non-conference soccer action on Thursday,
After Salisbury played an exceptional first half without a goal to show for it, senior Landon Goodman took a pass from Bryan Fragoso, beat two defenders, and finished to give SHS a 1-0 lead with 25 minutes remaining.
With a little more than 12 minutes remaining and with a ton of traffic in the box, All-State defender Christian Uribe crashed to the ground and had to be carted off of the field.
Just four minutes later, Mooresville leveled the match with a ball down the middle past keeper Arturo Ramirez.
The extent of Uribe’s injury is at this time unknown.
Salisbury got outstanding play from Melvin Bonilla, Andrew Kalogeromitros and Joshua Lynch.
