ARLINGTON, Va. - The Salisbury University women's basketball team lost its second straight Capital Athletic Conference game Saturday afternoon, 62-56, to Marymount University (Va.) before a crowd of 420 at the Verizon Sports Arena.

The Sea Gulls (9-7, 4-3 CAC) were led by junior guard Meghan Phillips who finished with a team-high 18 points which included 4-of-6 shooting from three-point range. Senior Meghan Klug recorded a double-double as she scored 10 points and grabbed 13 rebounds. Fellow senior Jessica Mills was the other Sea Gull in double figures with 11 points and seven rebounds.

Marymount (10-6, 5-1 CAC) took a four point, 30-26, lead into the intermission and built as large as a 15-point lead with four and a half minutes remaining in the game as the Saints held on to win their third game in the row. Salisbury shot 25 percent in the first half and only 29 percent for the game.
