Mooney's two goals lead Sea Gulls to win at Marymount

Box Score

ARLINGTON, Va. - Freshman defender Erin Mooney (Solomons, Md.) scored the first two goals of her collegiate career Tuesday evening, leading the Salisbury University women's soccer team to a 3-1 win at Marymount University.

Mooney scored the first goal of the match, an unassisted tally, in the 44th minute to give the Sea Gulls (7-3-2, 4-1 Capital Athletic Conference) a 1-0 lead at halftime.

Marymount (0-12, 0-5 CAC) got the equalizer in the 52nd minute, but the 1-1 tie did not last long. Salisbury senior forward Christina Eury (Germantown, Md.) put home the go-ahead goal, her third game-winner of the season, just five minutes later, off an assist from senior defender Hillary Grove (Hagerstown, Md.). The assist extended Grove's streak of games with at least one point to four.

Mooney added her second goal of the night, an unassisted score, in the 73rd minute to give the Gulls an insurance goal.

Salisbury dominated play in the match, outshooting the Saints 22-4, putting 12 of their shots on target, and coming up with 11 corner kick opportunities while Marymount did not have one.

The Salisbury defensive unit kept freshman goalkeeper Melissa Orgera (Arnold, Md.) comfortable, forcing her to make just two saves to collect her sixth win of the season.

The Sea Gulls will be back in action Saturday, Oct. 17, when they host Hood College. The game is slated to begin at 1 p.m.
