SALISBURY, Md. - The Salisbury University women's soccer team suffered a heartbreaking loss to Capital Athletic Conference opponent Mary Washington on Wednesday afternoon at the SU Soccer Complex. The loss takes the Sea Gulls out of the running for the CAC Championship.

The Sea Gulls maintained ball control for the majority of the game, outshooting the Eagles 36-7. The maroon and gold had several opportunities to capitalize on corner kicks, but were unable to put the ball past Eagle goalkeeper Tina Brehm. Both teams played aggressively, but could not score in the 110 minutes of allotted playing time; they lined up for a best-of-five series of penalty kicks to determine which team would advance to the CAC Championship. Two Mary Washington players were able to sneak the ball past freshman goalkeeper Melissa Orgera (Arnold, Md.) but Salisbury failed to capitalize, giving the Eagles the victory.

Salisbury was led by senior forward Christina Eury (Germantown, Md.), who blasted nine shots on the day, five of which were on goal. Sophomore forward Sarah Jessilonis (Pasadena, Md.) posted six shots, two of which were on goal. The Sea Gulls will now await the announcement of the NCAA Tournament bracket, scheduled to be released on Monday, Nov. 9.
