One team needed a break from its schedule Tuesday afternoon. The other played its first game of the season.

In a result that might not be surprising, the latter team, St. Marys, had more gas left in its tank than Seabury Academy and earned a 2-1, double overtime victory at the Youth Sports Inc. fields.

Now, the Seahawks (2-3) can take a break after playing four games in a seven-day span.

The Seahawks forced extra play Tuesday when Seabury senior midfielder Gary Gardner took a centering kick from sophomore Aaron Chung and fired into a nearly empty net. Gardner’s goal tied the game at 1 in the 76th minute of regulation.

“We knew going into this year the second half was going to be a challenge for us,” said Seabury coach Brian Clyne. “To score late in the second half as tired and beat up as we were — that shows me a lot about those guys.”

Seabury freshman Peter Zemanski pointed to bigger issues, such as lack of size and a defense that has to “stop stabbing” at the ball.

“It was a tough game,” Zemanski said. “They were bigger and played more aggressively. I think that their approach to the game put them over the top.”

Chris Goldade of St. Marys (1-0) sent everyone home in the sixth minute of the second overtime by charging through the Seahawk defense and burying the ball past goalkeeper Paul Bireta.

Although both teams had ample chances to get on the scoreboard, St. Marys responded first in the 27th minute, when Crusaders forward Kelly O’Neill lofted a kick over the outstretched hands of Bireta.

“We worked on the mental part more than the physical because haven’t played enough,” said St. Marys coach Miguel Garcia, whose team started school Tuesday.

Seabury will play host Friday to Flint Hills Christian.
