Salisbury flies past St. Mary's, Knight honored for landmark win

SALISBURY, Md. - On a night where Salisbury University volleyball head coach Margie Knight was honored for her 200th career win her team came out and shut out St. Mary's College (Md.), 3-0, to give Coach Knight win No. 201.

The Sea Gulls (6-3, 1-0 CAC) won the match 30-27, 30-17, 30-14 over the Seahawks (5-4, 0-1 CAC) in the Capital Athletic Conference opener for both teams. Salisbury increases its winning streak to four matches.

Salisbury was led offensively by sophomore Stacey Krebs who had a team high 16 kills followed by junior Lynn Cipollone's 11 kills. Senior Abbey Petrecca recorded a game high 38 assists, sophomore Jaime Marzocchi had 22 digs and freshman Savannah Tinsley served up six aces.

The Sea Gulls had little trouble with the Seahawks in the final two games after the teams gutted out a tough first game.

Salisbury had a comfortable lead and was only four points away from winning the game but let St. Mary's (Md.) back into the first game. The Seahawks rallied and pulled to within two, 29-27, before the Sea Gulls closed the door.

Coach Knight won her 200th game at SU this past Saturday, September 9 at the Battlefield Classic in Gettysburg, Pa., where Salisbury defeated the University of Scranton, 3-1, to secure the landmark victory. Knight's record is now 201-127 as the volleyball coach at SU.
