NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - The Salisbury University women's soccer team fell 2-0 to Christopher Newport University in a non-conference road game on Wednesday evening.

Salisbury (4-3-3) put three shots on goal in the contest but could not manage to get the ball past CNU goalie Dineen Sampson (three saves). The Gulls had six corner kick opportunities but failed to capitalize on those chances.

Freshman Samantha Ondrejcak led the maroon and gold with two shots on goal while junior defender Hillary Grove placed one shot on goal for SU. Sea Gull goalie Gena Goodson recorded one save in 90 minutes of work in the net.  

The Gulls struggled to handle Christopher Newport (6-4-1) non-starter Caitlin Maat, who beat the Sea Gulls for a goal and an assist. Maat fed teammate Megan Richard a pass with five minutes left to play in the first half as the Captains led 1-0 at the break. In the second half, Matt took a pass from Jenn Campbell to score CNU's second goal with 15 minutes to play in the game.

The maroon and gold will travel to Fredericksburg, Va., this Saturday, October 4, to take on the University of Mary Washington. The Capital Athletic Conference game is slated to begin at 1 p.m.
