Salisbury suffered its first setback of the season in a 2-0 non-conference loss to North Iredell on Thursday.

 Salisbury surrendered both goals in a 10-minute span in the first half and never really threatened until lightning halted the match with 12 minutes remaining.

“North Iredell was the quicker, stronger, more cohesive team on this night and we just didn’t have much left in the tank,” Salisbury coach Matt Parrish said. “To be honest, it was poor scheduling on my part. Three games in the first four days of school (particularly in this heat) is an awful lot to ask a team.”

Next up for the Hornets is a pivotal early season CCC matchup versus Lexington on Tuesday.  Game times are 5:30 and 7.

Salisbury’s jayvees remained undefeated with a 4-1 win.
