SALISBURY, Md. - York College shutout Salisbury 2-0 on Saturday afternoon on the road in Capital Athletic Conference women's soccer action. The Spartans improve to 7-3-1 overall, 2-1 in the conference while the Sea Gulls fall to 3-4-1 for the season, 1-2 in the CAC.

Salisbury opened the match with a flare as the Sea Gulls registered a good scoring chance with a shot on goal which resulted in a corner kick within the first minute.

The Spartan defense held strong as they only allowed two additional Salisbury shots for the remainder of the game. The Sea Gulls could muster just the one corner against the Spartan defense and goalkeeper Amanda Lomberg (two saves).

Providing the offense for York was junior Emily Sullivan who scored a goal in each half. Her second goal came from a penalty kick after a hand-ball in the box was called against Salisbury. Sullivan's game-winning goal in the first half was a header just over the outstretched hands of Sea Gull goalie Samantha Phipps. For the game, Phipps made three saves and back-up goalie Kristin Greene had one.

SU junior Sara Schmidt and sophomore Dana Passucci had the only shots on goal for the Gulls, despite having possession for the majority of the game. The York defense of Caitlin Allen, Katie Kegerreis and Lauren Stewart denied the Salisbury attack and clogged progress on several occasions.

The Sea Gulls head for the road with trips to Rowan and CAC foe Mary Washington in the coming week.
