SALISBURY Md. - The Salisbury University softball team started off the Capital Athletic Conference tournament strong as they shut out Wesley College 6-0 in a second round game Thursday afternoon.

Salisbury will face third-seed University of Mary Washington on Saturday, April 19, at 2 p.m. The Eagles defeated second-seed York (Pa.) College 5-0 in a second round game on Thursday.
