SALISBURY, Md. - Freshman Sarah Jessilonis scored her first collegiate goal for Salisbury University in exciting fashion as she took a corner kick pass from senior Kelli Salter and used her knee to put the ball into the net. Jessilonis goal ended Saturday's Capital Athletic Conference women's soccer double overtime game with York (Pa.) College as Salisbury won 1-0 on a rainy day at the SU Soccer Complex.

The two teams were scoreless for over 109 minutes before the Sea Gulls (4-2-3, 2-0-1 CAC) ended the game with less than 42 seconds left in the second overtime period. SU hands York (4-3-1, 2-1-0 CAC) its first loss in conference play. The Spartans are the defending CAC champions.

Last season, the Sea Gulls lost to York 2-0 in the CAC championship game held in Salisbury, Md. SU was the top-seed in the tournament.

The Sea Gulls were outshot 15-2 in regulation but fought hard for the entire match as senior goalie Gena Goodson made six saves to keep the Gulls in a position to win. The Gulls got off three shots in the second overtime period to keep York goalie Desiree Halaka (two saves) busy until the end.

This is the second time in a week that the Sea Gulls have played a double overtime game. Last Saturday, SU tied Stevenson College 0-0 to give the Sea Gulls their third tie of the season.

Salisbury concludes its four-game homestand with 2-1-1 record and will hit the road to face a tough in-region team on Wednesday, October 1, as the Sea Gulls go up against Christopher Newport University on the road at 6 p.m.
