ARLINGTON, Va. - The Salisbury University
women's soccer team rebounded from its first defeat of the season
with a 2-0 Capital Athletic Conference win over Marymount (Va.)
University on Tuesday afternoon at Quincy Field.
The Sea Gulls (9-1-1, 5-1 CAC) scored two first half goals which
proved to be more than enough as the maroon and gold improved to
18-0 all-time against the Saints (6-6-1, 1-3-1 CAC).
Junior Dana Passucci recorded her fourth goal of
the season in the 25th minute to give SU the early 1-0 advantage.
Nearly 20 minutes later senior Erin Casey scored
on a feed from sophomore Hillary Grove to give
Salisbury the two goal lead it would not relinquish.
Salisbury registered 14 shots on the afternoon to Marymount's nine
and also had five more corner kicks than the Saints, 8-3.
Junior's Gena Goodson and Kristin
Greene combined for the Gulls' fourth shutout of the
season as the two goalies totaled four saves. Goodson started in
net and improved her record to 5-1-1. MMU's goalie Lauren Harris
made six saves in the loss.
The game ended early as the officials called the contest in the
90th minute due to lightening in the area.
Salisbury's next game is a rematch of last season's CAC
championship as the Sea Gulls travel to St. Mary's City, Md., on
Saturday, October 13, to face St. Mary's (Md.) College at Noon.
