SALISBURY, Md. - The No. 2 Salisbury University field hockey team celebrated senior night at Sea Gull Stadium with a 5-0 victory over Capital Athletic Conference foe Stevenson University on Tuesday night. On the season, Salisbury has outscored its opponents 64-7.

The Sea Gulls (12-1, 5-0 CAC) had numerous chances in the first half, dominating play with a 13-0 advantage in shots and a 9-0 edge in penalty corners, but needed 30 minutes to break through. In the 31^st minute Salisbury got on the board when sophomore forward Caitlin Walker (Fallston, Md.) settled a centering pass from senior midfielder Michelle Rowe (Elkton, Md.) and fired a shot past Stevenson keeper Kara Zimmerman.

Zimmerman was tested all night long as she was forced to make 20 saves to keep the Mustangs (4-11, 1-4 CAC) in the match.

Nearly 10 minutes into the second half, the Sea Gulls struck again. Senior forward Lauren Correll (Bridgeville, Del.) sent a pass in front of the net that junior forward Katy Lamboni (Salisbury, Md.) slammed into the back of the cage, good for her first goal of the year and a 2-0 lead.

The Sea Gulls scored three times in the final 21 minutes of the match, getting unassisted tallies from freshman back Emily Ellenberger (Gaithersburg, Md.) and senior forward Beverly Beladino (Putnam Valley, N.Y.). The final score came off the stick of junior back Ashley Kisner (Duncannon, Pa.) from an Ellenberger assist.

Play remained in Salisbury's offensive end throughout the match, as the Sea Gulls finished with a 32-1 edge on shots and had 26 penalty corners while the Mustangs had just one chance, coming in the final 90 seconds of play.

Tonight's victory, the eighth shut-out of the season for the Gulls, gives Salisbury a first-round bye in the CAC tournament. The Sea Gulls will put their unblemished CAC mark on the line at the University of Mary Washington on Saturday afternoon in their final conference match of the season. The match is slated to begin at 1 p.m.
