From staff and wire reports
Salisbury and South Rowan battled to a rain-soaked 2-2 draw in non-conference soccer on Wednesday.
German Delgado scored both South Rowan goals. Walker Joyce had an assist.
South keeper Cameron Corriher had a big night, piling up saves and stopping a penalty kick.
After a first half of heat and humidity that saw both teams score twice, rain and lightning halted the match with 28 minutes remaining for almost an hour.
“We had many, many chances after the rain, but we failed to convert,” Salisbury coach Matt Parrish said.
Sophomore Tony Figueroa scored his first varsity goal for the Hornets on a corner kick delivered by Santiago Caballero.
Less than two minutes later, Andrew Kalogeromitros made it 2-0 on a penalty kick.
South countered twice to close out the scoring before halftime.
“We were playing our third game in three nights to open the season, a schedule I blame only myself for making,” Parrish said. “When a young team, particularly a young defense gets scored on, it’s often a result of set pieces, such as corners and long throws. We were a victim of that on both of South’s goals, but we can correct our issues with experience.”
Next up for the Hornets (2-0-1) is a home doubleheader with Ledford on Monday. The jayvee game is at 5 p.m.
