SALISBURY, Md. - The No. 9 Salisbury University
field hockey team jumped out to an early lead against in-state
rival McDaniel College and never looked back on Wednesday evening
at Sea Gull Stadium. Salisbury (9-2) posted its fourth straight
shutout, eighth overall, in the 2-0 win over the Green Terror
(6-6).
Salisbury junior Beverly Beladino scored the
game's first goal three minutes into the game. Beladino got her
stick on the ball that rebounded off of McDaniel goalie Erika
Wawzyanick (10 saves) and fired it into the cage. The goal was
Beladino's third of the season. She has scored her three goals in
the past two games for the maroon and gold.
The Sea Gulls took the 1-0 lead into the half where SU outshot
McDaniel, 10-0.
In the second half, Salisbury continued to apply pressure on the
McDaniel cage as the Sea Gulls took 13 shots and forced seven
penalty corners. SU scored the final goal in the 51st minute when
junior Lauren Correll scored her 10th goal of the
season off another rebound. Correll's goal was unassisted.
For the game Salisbury outshot McDaniel, 23-1. SU took 14
corners and only allowed one second half corner to the Green
Terror. SU goalie Anna Cooke earned the shutout in
the cage as she is now 5-0 for the season. The Sea Gulls hold a 9-1
series advantage over the Green Terror.
The Sea Gulls continue their homestand on Sunday, October 12,
when they welcome Capital Athletic Conference foe Hood College to
town for a 2 p.m. contest. This game was originally scheduled for
September 3 on the road but was delayed due to poor field
conditions.
