SALISBURY, Md. - The No. 19 Salisbury University women's soccer team came away with a 2-1 victory in overtime against Capital Athletic Conference rival University of Mary Washington on Saturday. SU senior forward Christina Eury (Germantown, Md.) headed in the game-winner with less than two minutes remaining in the first overtime period. Freshman defender Erin Mooney (Solomons, Md.) was credited with the assist, her first of the season, as her perfectly-positioned cross set up the game-winning goal. The win moves SU's record to 6-1-2 overall, and 3-0 in conference. 

The Sea Gulls held a slight advantage in time of possession. The SU offense accumulated 12 shots on goal to Mary Washington's five. This was the sixth time this season that SU has had 10 shots or more on goal in a game.

Salisbury's first goal of the game was scored by senior defender Hillary Grove (Hagerstown, Md.) in the 40th minute of the first half. Grove's goal came on a direct kick that she placed over the Eagle's wall, into the upper right corner from just beyond the penalty box. 

Salisbury's streak of holding its opponent scoreless came to an end today at 774 minutes when Mary Washington sophomore forward Bridget Dooley scored in the 37th minute of the first half. Dooley's shot from just across midfield traveled high and off the outstretched fingers of SU junior goalkeeper Samantha Kaufman (Germantown, Md.) into the top of the net. The match marked Kaufman's first career start in goal, and she provided Salisbury with four critical saves.  

The SU women's soccer team will next host Richard Stockton College of New Jersey on Wednesday Oct. 7 at 4 p.m.
