No. 24 Sea Gulls win Green Terror Invitational, win streak stands at 27

WESTMINSTER, Md. - The winning streak now sits at 27 straight as the No. 24 Salisbury University volleyball team completed the sweep at the Green Terror Invitational on Saturday with two straight set wins over host McDaniel College and Gallaudet University. The shutouts were the Sea Gulls 21st and 22nd of the season, respectively, as Salisbury has won 37 of the past 39 sets.

Salisbury (27-1) notched its fifth tournament win of the season in six attempts. The Sea Gulls won the Battlefield Classic hosted by Gettysburg College, the Garnett Classic hosted by Swarthmore College, the Sea Gull Classic, the Salisbury Invitational and the Green Terror Invitational. SU will have one more chance to win a tournament, the Seahawk Tournament hosted by St. Mary's (Md.) College, in two weeks. The only tournament loss this season came in the Juniata Tournament, at the start of the season, at the hands of host No. 1 Juniata College.

Carroll County natives senior Stacey Krebs and sophomore Melissa Stansbury, both played exceptionally well in front of a familiar crowd to lead the Sea Gulls past the host Green Terror in straight sets, 25-19, 25-9, 25-17, in the first match of the afternoon. Krebs, the lone all-tournament team selection for the champion Sea Gulls, led the way offensively with a team-high 11 kills and nine digs. On the defensive side of the ball, Stansbury recorded eight digs and a career-high four service aces. Juniors Rachel Downes (10 kills, nine digs) and Gabby Long (13 digs) helped to negate the McDaniel attacks. Senior Jaime Marzocchi recorded 23 assists in the win.

The Sea Gulls squared off with conference opponent Gallaudet University, immediately following the first match, in a non-conference match and took care of business as they defeated the Bison in straight sets, 25-19, 25-11, 25-15. Downes turned in an outstanding performance with 11 kills, nine digs and two service aces. Stansbury carried over her strong play from the first match to record a team-high 16 digs. Junior middle hitter Nicole Massarelli found a hole in the Bison defense seven times while Krebs added six kills. Sophomore Alexandria Malesick also got into the act upfront with three solo blocks. The ever reliable Marzocchi notched 26 assists and Long had 12 digs.

The maroon and gold will host conference opponent York (Pa.) College on Wednesday, October 15, in the Maggs Center at 7 p.m. The evening contest will mark "Senior Night" as the Sea Gulls play their final regular-season home match of the season. The Sea Gulls will end the season with a five-match road trip that concludes with a Capital Athletic Conference showdown with the Bison.
