SALISBURY, MARYLAND — Salisbury blanked Warren Wilson 2-0 in a Coast-to-Coast Athletic Conference semifinal Thursday morning at the Gerry DiBartolo Sea Gull Soccer Complex, the university said.

The Sea Gulls (13-2-3) advance to Friday's C2C championship against second-seeded Mary Washington at 11 a.m. at the same complex. The release lists an updated start time of 11 a.m.

David Brunetti headed in a Conor Moran free kick for the earliest Salisbury goal of the 2026 season and a 1-0 lead. The Sea Gulls put up 16 shots in the first half but carried only the one-goal edge into the break.

In the 53rd minute Dale Gordon tried a centering pass from the far wing. A Warren Wilson defender redirected it, the keeper was beaten, and the ball rolled into an open net for 2-0.

Clif Nehman made one save for his fourth shutout of the year. Salisbury outshot Warren Wilson 27-6 overall and 11-5 in the second half, putting 13 shots on goal to one.

Brunetti's goal lifted him to 18 points, past his 16 from last season. Gordon's tally was his seventh career goal, and Moran recorded his team-leading fifth assist.

Two goals, one clean sheet, and a Friday final at home.
