DOVER, Del. - The Salisbury University women's
soccer team remained unbeaten on the 2007 season as the Sea Gulls
handed Capital Athletic Conference newcomer Wesley College a 2-0
loss on Tuesday night in front of a crowd of 200.
The Sea Gulls (4-0-1, 1-0 CAC) scored two second half goals and
junior goalie Kristin Greene denied the only
Wolverine (6-2, 0-2 CAC) shot on goal to preserve the win.
Senior forward Kate Weaver had a hand in both SU
scores as she netted home the first goal just 32 seconds into the
start of the second half. Weaver's unassisted strike was her
team-leading fifth goal of the year.
The Sea Gulls, who moved up to No. 5 in the latest Middle Atlantic
Region rankings, struck again late in the second half (81st minute)
as junior midfielder Christina Eury cashed in on
her first goal of the season off a feed from Weaver to give SU the
2-0 lead.
Weaver now has a team-high 14 points on the season.
Corner kicks were even for the game as both teams had four
opportunities while the maroon and gold held the advantage in shots
(20-5) and shots on goal (12-1).
Greene picked up her second win of the season in as many tries as
Wesley goalie Brittany Block made 10 saves in the loss.
Salisbury returns to action on Saturday, September 22, as it
travels to Stevenson, Md., to face CAC opponent Villa Julie College
at Noon.
