DOVER, Del. - Four different Wolverines scored as Wesley captured a 4-1 win over Marymount in a key CAC men's soccer match up.

Omar De Los Santos (Prescott Valley, Ariz./Prescott Valley) got Wesley (9-6, 4-3 CAC) on the board early in the 10th minute when Marymount (7-7-1, 3-4 CAC) keeper William Brahmstedt came out after the ball and De Los Santos flipped the ball over his head for a 1-0 lead.

The Wolverines made it 2-0 at the half with a three on two breakaway with less than a minute left before the intermission.  Matt Nimmerichter (Middletown, Del./Middletown) and Kennon McMahon (Woodbury, N.J./Woodbury) worked a give and go to perfection, with Nimmerichter striking the ball into the back of the net.
